Famous comebacks in Indian cricket

4) Virender Sehwag- 2007-08

Sehwag’s reputation had taken a nose dive after India’s disastrous showing in the 2007 World Cup. He was dropped from both the Test and one day sides.

When the selectors sat down to pick the squad for the 2007-08 tour of Australia, Sehwag did not even make the probable’s list. However, he surprisingly made it to the final squad.

After being benched for the first two test matches, Sehwag made a comeback in the third match at Perth. He justified his selection with knocks of 29 and 43 on the fastest wicket in the country. For good measure, he also picked up 2 crucial wickets as India gunned for victory on the final day.

He followed it up with a knock of 151 in the Adelaide test, helping India draw the match.
