Sehwag is back

By AND

Virender Sehwag hit his second career triple century in the first Test against South Africa on Day 3 of the Chennai Test.

Sehwag finished unbeaten on 309 as India reached 468 for one in reply to South Africa’s first innings 540 all out at the close of third days play on Friday.

Virender Sehwag posted his second successive Test century on Friday as India’s opening pair made a strong reply against South Africa in the opening Test cricket match.

India was responding to South Africa’s first innings score of 540 that surpassed its previous highest total on Indian soil, 510-9 at Kanpur in 2004.

This is the highest of three opening century partnerships between Sehwag and Jaffer, surpassing their 159-run stand against the West Indies at Gros Islet two years ago.

I got this latest updated about cricket on NDTV 24×7. It is an excellent news channel for NRIs since it provides the most comprehensive news related to India. DirecTV makes it possible to access this channel in the US.
