Former Indian captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 in the 4th ODI.
Plaudits have flown in from all corners after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HA-Varaiya-c1520 smashed the Windies bowlers to all parts of the Indore stadium, orchestrating a stunning show of power-hitting to help his side claim a series win.
He towered himself to 219 from 149 delivering, hitting 25 fours and 7 sixes along to guide the team to their highest ever total of 418 in limited overs cricket. While many watched every ball of his special innings, Ganguly was unfortunate to miss the live
action due to his involvement with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy game.
However, the former international left-hander was quick to praise the stand in skipper claiming that there is no stopping when he gets going.
"It was an incredible innings," Ganguly said. "He is a brilliant player. When Sehwag gets going there's no stopping him."
Having built up a reputation of an explosive batter, the player is renowned for his eye-catching knocks throughout his illustrious career. While many associate him as a true modern One Day player Ganguly however, rates him highly due to his contributions
in the longer format of the game.
"I will not rate him as an all-time great ODI player as he has fired sporadically in limited-overs cricket. I think he has achieved much more in Test matches and I will rate him much higher in the longest format of the game," Ganguly remarked.
Going by the words of Ganguly, Sehwag has an impeccable record when it comes to the longer version, where is averaging in access of 50, while this drops substantially in the 50-over format where he is going at 35.66.
However despite this, his innings at Indore again asserted his importance to the Men In Blue team in both versions of the game. With the series wrapped, the final match will give the hosts to rest some of their key players, who will be travelling Down Under
to play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in a four-match Test series starting from Boxing Day.
