Dec 14th 2008 - Chennai. India vs England. 11 4s and 4 6s. A knock for the ages by Sehwag! India had been chasing the game all the way through, conceding a 75-run first-innings advantage and being set 387 for an unlikely victory – the previous highest successful chase in India was only 276. India had close to 120 overs and all the talk was whether they could salvage a draw when, on the fourth evening, Sehwag turned the match on its head. In just over an hour and a half, he sent England scurrying for cover with 11 fours and four sixes in a 68-ball 83.

From looking to attack, England were emphatically pushed back on to the defensive all because of one man.
Sehwag blazed away as India made 117 in 22 overs. He was eventually dismissed before stumps but not before he had put India in the driver's seat in the match. Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh applied the finishing touches sensationally on the last day for a famous, emotional victory less than three weeks after the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai.
