Sehwag proves his ICON status

309 runs in 292 balls with a strike rate of 106 for over 8 hours … Virender Sehwag not only put India on top in the 1^st Test match with South Africa, but also became only the 3^rd cricketer to score a triple-ton twice in Test cricket after Don Bradman and Brian Lara.

Scintillating Sehwag on his way to the fastest triple century in more than 120 years of Test cricket!

PS: It was funny to see that The Times of India had to get this report from Reuters ... they couldn't find a single correspondent to actually be there at the stadium! I thought cricket is something for which all media groups had dedicated correspondents.
