Sehwag
holds multiple records including the highest score made by an Indian in Test
cricket (319), which was also the fastest triple century in the history of
international cricket (reached 300 off only 278 balls) as well as the fastest
250 by any batsman (in 207 balls against Sri Lanka on 3 December 2009 at the
Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai). Sehwag also holds the distinction of being one of
four batsmen in the world to have ever surpassed 300 twice in Test cricket, and
the only one to score two triple centuries and take a five-wicket innings haul.
In March 2009, Sehwag smashed the fastest century ever scored by an Indian in
ODI cricket, from 60 balls.

Sehwag
was appointed as vice-captain of the Indian team under Rahul Dravid in October
2005 but due to poor form, he was later replaced by V. V. S. Laxman in December
2006 as Test vice-captain. In January 2007, Sehwag was dropped from the ODI
team and later from the Test team as well. During his term as vice-captain,
Sehwag skippered the team in place of injured Dravid in 2 ODIs and 1 Test.
Following his return to form in 2008 and the retirement of Anil Kumble, Sehwag
has been reappointed as the vice-captain for both Tests and ODIs. By early
2009, Sehwag had reestablished himself as one of the best performing batsmen in
ODI cricket.
