Tons to remember: Virender Sehwag's best knocks

As Virender Sehwag gets ready for his 100th Test, we look at some of his best hundreds.

105 vs South Africa. Bloemfontein 2001

Virender Sehwag's first Test century, and it came for losing cause. He joined Sachin Tendulkar with India devastated at 68/4. The two then stitched a 220 runs partnership.

319 vs South Africa. Chennai 2008

Now that was mammoth. But what is fascinating was the way that it came -- in 304 balls, that had 42 boundaries 5 sixes. South Africa had posted a solid 540 with a fine century from Hashim Amla. But Sehwag blunted Dale Steyn, Mkhaya Ntini and Morne Morkel for his triple century. Rahul Dravid stood by him with a 111.

254 vs Pakistan. Lahore 2006

With four centurions in their total of 679, Pakistan felt good at the Gaddafi Stadium. Sehwag replied with a 247-ball 254, while Dravid frustrated the Pakistan bowling with a 233-ball 128.

293 vs Sri Lanka. Mumbai 2009

Replying to a total 393, Sehwag blasted the Lankan attack with a 254-ball 293. MS Dhoni came up with a ton, as India posted a massive 726.

151 vs Australia. Adelaide 2008

In the second innings, none except Sehwag managed to score more than 20! India ended the day on 269/7, Sehwag scored 151.

195 vs Australia. Melbourne 2003

A Boxing Day Test match and Sehwag choses to give a packed MCG a stellar 233-ball 195. But India loses the game, courtesy a superb 257 from Ricky Ponting.

180 vs West Indies. Gros Islet 2006

Sehwag has settled in his role as an opener, despite his 'see the ball-hit it' attitude. And West Indies bore the brunt of it as he smashed 180 in 190 balls. India nearly won the match after making the Windies follow-on, but fell three wickets short.

173 vs New Zealand. Ahmedabad 2010

Courtesy this one from Viru, and a century from Rahul Dravid, India posted a solid total at Motera. That that match will be remembered more for Harbhajan Singh who scored 115 to save the match for India!

106 vs England. Nottingham 2002

It wasn't a knock that had Sehwag's way of playing written all over it, but nonetheless, was very important one. With Steve Harmison and Mathew Hoggard making the ball talk, India were hit hard right at the start, until Sehwag and Sourav Ganguly gave the Indian innings some life.

309 vs Pakistan. Multan 2004

Everyone knew Sehwag could get a triple hundred, only if he controlled with 'natural way' of hitting. He didn't, and that's probably the reasonw hy he became the first Indian triple centurion. Cream on the cake -- it came against Pakistan, in Pakistan. Sachin Tendulkar was there with Sehwag in his moment of glory.
