Virender Sehwag was never a ‘maaro or maro’ slogger, he was once-in-a-generation player, writes Ravi Shastri

Team India head coach Ravi Shastri bills Sehwag as a ‘unique’ and ‘once-in-a-generation’ player. “He (Sehwag) was a high-risk player for sure, but not a ‘maaro ya maro’ slogger. His mind was always ticking, looking for opportunities to score and he would work out the success/failure percentage of strokes instinctively,” Shastri writes in his new book.
