Virender Sehwag has constructed an extraordinary career with a relentless quest, and a genius, for boundary hitting. With minimal footwork but maximum intent, he has piled Test runs at a faster pace than anyone in the history of cricket. Bowlers must always fancy their chances against a batsman who plays so many strokes; it's just that Sehwag fancies his chances against them much more. As a starry-eyed youngster from Najafgarh, where his family ran a flour mill, Sehwag grew up, like many others from his generation, wanting to be Sachin Tendulkar. Indeed, when he scored his first one-day hundred, filling up for his injured idol against New Zealand in Sri Lanka, he could have been mistaken for him: there was the same back-foot punch on the off side, the minimalistic straight drive and the wristy whip to the leg. And on his Test debut, on a fiery pitch in Bloemfontein, he matched the master stroke for stroke as they both blazed away to hundreds.

The talent was obvious but Raina needed to translate that on the field as well. That's when the IPL Caravan debuted in 2008.

Making his debut in 2003, the left-hander was always on the fringe of the one-day national side. After a 96 in only his third Test innings, in 2004, against South Africa, he went on to score his first Test century against Bangladesh in the same year. Yet, in an Indian top order that underwent immense experimentation between Ganguly, Sehwag, Tendulkar and Dravid; Gambhir always floated about the periphery. This same unsettled top order was part of India's underwhelming performance in the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup, in which Gambhir did not play. In the same year, he came back with a young Indian team that won the inaugural ICC World Twenty20. It started an ascendancy of orbital proportions for both India and Gambhir. He started to bloom only when he had the freedom to open the innings in both forms of the game for an extended period along with Sehwag.
