Have you ever watched him in action? He is a brilliant player in ODI's. He did above average in tests too (though he got to play less tests!)
 
Sehwag - Dravid steady Indian ship!

Sehwag and Dravid steady India - 75/3
V.Sehwag 27* (32)
R.Dravid 22* (30)

Virender Sehwag is starting to find back his lost form and supporting him is Rahul Dravid as both have steadied India inside the first 15 overs reaching a healthy 75/3. They now need another 92 runs to win this match and pocket a final berth.

Sehwag and Dravid played sensibly, rotating the strike. Only in the 14th over did Dravid free his arms and scored 8 runs off the over. Sehwag though not in his usual aggressive self, is currently mixing caution with aggression and playing a sensible and a good quality innings that can help India in winning the match and entering the finals!

England certainly are not out of the game but they need quick wickets as India's required run rate is a measly 2.5 an over. So, England cant win this game by drying the runs up. They need to pick up wickets and bowl out India to win this match!

 
Giles strikes; Dravid OUT!

Dravid OUT for 31 as India are 99/4
Virender Sehwag 41* (42)
Rahul Dravid 31 (48)


Ashley Giles strikes in his second over tempting Dravid to step out of his crease to a flighted delivery. Dravid fell to the temptation and stepped out to the delivery but missed connecting with it as Jones behind the wicket did no mistake in dislodging the stumps. Dravid walked back disappointed as England get a breather into the match.

Ajay Jadeja, the hero of India's heroic victory against New Zealand, has walked in and joined Virender Sehwag who has found his golden touch with the bat. Sehwag is not out on 41* off 42 balls and if Jadeja can show even 50% of his form against New Zealand, India can be ensured of a comfortable victory here at Wellington. India will make sure that they do not make a heavy weather of the target here! And if India wins here within the 40th over,they get 2 bonus points as they already bowled England out within the 40th over of their innings!

 
India shouldn't press the panic button now,they should remain calm.
 
India lose Jadeja but Sehwag marches them closer to victory!

Jadeja falls but Sehwag stands between victory and England!
India 121/5
Virender Sehwag 53* (50)
Kabir Ali 1/35 (7)


England get the crucial wicket of Jadeja but Sehwag stands between victory and England in the 4th ODI game here at Wellington.

After Dravid got out, Jadeja joined Sehwag. Jadeja started off with a crisp boundary through the covers. Just when it looked like he would settle down with Sehwag, he received an unplayable delivery from Kabir Ali that summed up the state of the pitch today. The ball after pitching outside the off stump, darted back in to hit Jadeja on his pads right in front of his middle stump. Jadeja could do nothing but to watch the umpire's finger go up. He walked back trudgingly LBW for 8.

Meanwhile, Sehwag has reached his first half century of the series with a gorgrous straight drive down the ground for four. Dhoni at the other end also started off witha flourish, spanking his first ball through the off side for a four!

England know that they need to get Sehwag to put India into enormous trouble. India now know that Sehwag can lead them to a win or else, they might start thinking of a defeat here. The next part of the game probably would decide if India are going to win this match or not! But the wicket served here certainly is a shocker of a ODI wicket and is a very bad advertisement for ODI cricket! It may keep the crowds in New Zealand away from watching ODI cricket in the stadium!

 
Wonderful innings by Sehwag!

Virender Sehwag stands tall - 20 runs to win!
India 147/6
Virender Sehwag 71* (80)
Ashley Giles 1/15 (6)


Virender Sehwag stands tall as India need just 20 more runs to wrap up this match and book a berth for the finals! He has played an amazing innings fully interspersed with mind blowing shots and very good running between the wickets!

Dhoni in the meanwhile, was out soon. Dhoni tried to to cover drive Flintoff but the ball held its line after pitching and forced Dhoni to lob the ball in the air to mid off where Kabir Ali pouched the ball easily. Dhoni was out for 7. But this did not deter Sehwag from scoring in a carefree manner. Sehwag is now farming almost 100% of the strike as he and Agarkar have put up a 20 run partnership with Agarkar scoring only 1 run!
