The former Indian opener Virender Sehwag picked up the triple centurion knock of the Multan test match as the Elite innings of his whole international career. Virender Sehwag was only renowned for his aggressive batting style at every phase of the game, this is the most special trait which the few openers of that era had.
In his recent interview given to the Star Sports he depicted the old memories of his first Pakistan tour where he played this invincible knock from there, Virender Sehwag started to be known by the name of ‘Sultan of Multan”.

The video which Star Sports have also uploaded on the YouTube channel Virendra Sehwag said in it, “The 309-run knock at Multan test is my favourite, because no one expected that a player like Sehwag, an opener could score a triple century. People were saying…the media used to write, the commentators used to say that Sehwag is not a Test player, he cannot make big runs”.

“The good thing about that innings was that the previous four innings did not go well for me, which happened in the ODIs against Pakistan. I had this feeling that if I did not score runs even in the Test series, I may get dropped. So, this time, if I get the start, like score 30-40, I have to convert it into big runs. Then I got a good start in Multan.”, he concluded.
