When he is in the mood, there is no other batsman as dangerous as Virender Sehwag. The South Africans learnt it the hard way on Friday.
Between lunch and tea, 108 runs came from Sehwag's blade (with 133 runs added into team's total!). Scoring a hundred in a session is no mean achievement. This can be gauged from the fact that this feat has been achieved on only five occasions by Indian batsmen. Sehwag is the only one to do so twice.
