Whenever there will be a discussion on the topic of opening batsman pair of cricket, it is impossible to miss the two great names of Indian cricket, i.e., Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. They both have literally ruled the cricket arena and statistics also favor them in this matter. They have opened in 93 innings, scored 3919 runs with an average of 42.13 along with 18 fifty partnerships and 12 partnerships of hundreds.
Sachin and Virender complemented each other perfectly; Viru used to ease the pressure on Sachin with his blasting shots and let him take the role of a sheet anchor. It was always a treat for the fans of both the cricketers to see them batting together; however presently, it is very rare that we see them with each other. But the good thing is that we still get to see them batting on the pitch of Twitter nowadays.
Just recently, they were together in Delhi and Viru shared a photo of him with the master blaster and told his followers about the “darshan” of his God.
Here is what Sehwag tweeted, “God ji ke Darshan in Delhi.”
