Sehwag disdainfully pulls, hooks and cuts. If the ball is pitched up, he effortlessly heaves it over the in-field or bisects the fielders with crunchy drives. Their game plans have all been put in awry. The Kiwi's biggest challenge, and admittedly their foremost goal, is to get rid of Sehwag early from the square, which they have not been successful in the last two ODIs.

Virender Sehwag was in form and wanted to impose himself on the hosts. Yet that innings of 26 off 10 balls was perhaps his worst of the tour, for Sehwag has improved with every match, throwing New Zealand completely off their tracks. The bowler who suffered the attack, Tim Southee, is unlikely to play the third one-day international in Christchurch, but Sehwag is playing on every New Zealand bowler's mind.

But he does set it up. Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan and Dhoni who have contributed when it matters most.
