However, it was Sehwag, who had not played for India in over a year and had a mediocre IPL season scoring just 316 runs in 16 games, that took the crowd by surprise. Although he had a few starts earlier in the season, Sehwag’s lightning-fast reflexes were did not anything very special that year. Many assumed that he would only score a few boundaries and set up the match for Maxwell to take over. But Sehwag had other ideas.
