Virender Sehwag was that fearless Indian opening batsman who changed the definition and style of opening for the Indian cricket team. Having been born in Najafgarh, Delhi, Sehwag was known worldwide for his explosive batting.

Whether it was a test match or ODI, in his initial days, he used to approach all matches with a similar mindset and that was to put the opposition bowlers under pressure from the word go. As his batting matured, he did start adapting more to the match and pitch conditions but was never the one who the opposition was able to rattle with their pace or bounce.

Sehwag went on to be the only Indian to score two triple centuries for India and also for a short time, he was the highest ODI run-scorer.

Vinoo Mankad - the Indian opening batsman to score 231 runs, which was the highest score by an Indian Test player at that time. Also known for his orthodox left-arm slow bowling, Vinoo gained the limelight during his days when he ran a batsman out on the non-striker's end before he has bowled the ball. This incident came to be known as Mankading and ICC had to draft new rules to make this a legal process.

Vinoo went on to play 44 test matches for India between 1946 and 1959 and was inducted in the ICC Hall of Fame in 2021.
