Mumbai, March 17: After hitting the seventh fastest century in one-day cricket, Virender Sehwag goes into India`s Test series against New Zealand carrying a reputation as the world`s most destructive batsman.
"He`s now very much in a class of his own and is easily the most destructive player in the game today," New Zealand batting great Martin Crowe wrote in a newspaper.
"Given his innings in Test cricket, triple hundreds, exploits in Twenty20s and, obviously, one-dayers, he continues to defy really what batsmen have been trying to do for ages," the former New Zealand captain wrote.
Sehwag`s century in the fourth one-day international in Hamilton last Wednesday was the fastest by an Indian.
He finished with 125 not out in a 201-run opening stand in 23.3 overs in a rain-hit ODI to help India secure their first series victory on New Zealand soil.
Sehwag notched up a 27-ball 40 with three sixes and as many fours in the final match on Saturday which New Zealand won by eight wickets to register their only victory in the five-match series.
