Former Indian opening batsman Virender Sehwag has called it quit. Sehwag, the only Indian batsman ever to score a triple century in Test match, announced his international retirement on Tuesday. More than two years after last appearing for his country, Sehwag accepted that there would be no emotional comeback as he became the latest member of India's World Cup-winning team to call it a day.
However, Sehwag will continue to play first-class cricket for his state side Haryana in the domestic Ranji Tropy competition. After making his debut against South Africa in 2001, Sehwag became one of the most feared batsmen in world cricket, forming part of a formidable line-up that also included Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly. Sehwag is widely credited with transforming the role of opening batsman in Test cricket with a hard-hitting style that brought him a top score in Test
matches of 319, against South Africa in Chennai in 2008, according to a news agency.
