Virender Sehwag – India

IPL5

India’s best opener since Sunil Gavaskar was none other than Virender Sehwag. The former opener has won almost every title wearing the India colors, but, the one trophy that eluded Virender Sehwag in his legendary career was the IPL title. The closest he came to realizing that dream was when he reached the finals in 2014 with Punjab Kings. On that day his best friend Gautam Gambhir and his KKR side took home the IPL glory.
