Virender Sehwag 109 vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test 2010 @ Colombo

Virender Sehwag led an aggressive Indian response to Sri Lanka's challenging score on a competitive pitch on the second day at the P Sara Oval. Thilan Samaraweera thwarted India's quest for early wickets with an assured century amid testing spells from Ishant Sharma and Pragyan Ojha, but Sehwag's counter-attack, with some fortune, helped the visitors even things out. Vacant spaces were picked in the leg side with Sehwag slamming Welegedera over midwicket and square-leg for a clutter of boundaries. When they were pitched a touch wider, Sehwag flat-batted through mid-off. Amid the targeted assault against Welegedera - struck for nine fours - Sehwag braved a thorny spell from Malinga, who ruffled him with the bouncer and kept him on his toes with the deceptive slower one. But it was against Malinga that he played his best shot of the day - a punched back-foot drive past the umpire.He also crossed 7000 Test Runs with this knock.
