Here are his achievements.

    Sehwag holds these records in Tests for India

    In terms of Test runs for India, Sehwag is fifth on the list. He is also the fifth Indian to amass 8,500-plus runs in Test cricket. Sehwag is the fourth-highest in terms of career Test tons for India after Sachin Tendulkar (51), Rahul Dravid (36), Sunil Gavaskar (34) and Virat Kohli (26). He holds an unwanted record of 16 Test ducks alongside Kapil Dev.

    Sehwag in elite company with this special feat

    Sehwag scored four double hundreds and two triple tons in Test cricket. He holds the joint-best record for the most triple tons in Tests alongside Don Bradman, Chris Gayle and Brian Lara (2 each).

    Sehwag achieved these records as well

    His 309 versus Pakistan was the first triple ton ever by any Indian. After this landmark, he came to be known as 'Multan ka Sultan'. The aggressive batsman was the second Indian to hit a double century in ODI cricket after Sachin Tendulkar. Sehwag is the ninth-highest ODI run-scorer for Team India (7,995).

    Sehwag has these records in terms of partnership runs

    Sehwag and Tendulkar have the ninth-highest partnership runs in ODI cricket (4,387). The two have the fourth-highest tally in terms of partnership runs for Team India. Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir amassed the eighth-highest partnership runs in Test cricket (4,412). They also have the second-best tally by an Indian pair. Tendulkar and Dravid (6,920) lead the charts in Test cricket.

    Sehwag belongs to this special club

    Sehwag boasts of a rare feat to have scored a double century in both ODIs and Tests. He shares the record alongside Tendulkar, Gayle and Rohit Sharma.
