VIRENDER SEHWAG
BOTH SEHWAG AN GAUTHI BEST PENING PARTNERSHIP
If someone talks about Cricket and Friendships, one must be thinking
about the mighty Sehwag and the eccentric Gambhir and their friendship.
The duo has been playing together for a decade now, not only for Indian
National team but for Delhi as well. They share quite a chemistry as
everyone is aware of. Noone can ever forget the opening partnerships
involving the two, which is considered to be one of the biggest strength
for the Team.
VIRENDER SEHWAG
Virender Sehwag pronunciation (born 20 October 1978) is an Indian cricketer. An aggressive right-handed opening batsman and a part-time right-arm off-spin bowler, he played his first One Day International in 1999 and joined the Indian Test team in 2001. In April 2009, Sehwag became the only Indian to be honoured as the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World for his performance in 2008
"He is a great player and with great players the best laid plans can go away. That is what destructive batsmen do. They have people off their game plans," Vettori said after the match.
"I wouldn't say bowlers feel intimidated, but they are fearful of what is going to come. We are never sure what he is going to do, he is that good a player that he can hit all around the park. I suppose the bowlers run in and maybe for a second or two guess what is going to happen," he added.
Vettori said the Kiwi bowlers have to concentrate on bowling in the right areas and stop worrying about getting hit by the right-hander.
"I reckon we have got to tell ourselves that we have got to bowl in our area, and if we get hit from there we can live with that," he said.
Vettori said New Zealand could rein in West Indian swashbuckler Chris Gayle for once, but Sehwag was turning out to be a different kind of nemesis altogether.
"I suppose with Gayle we have got a feel of where he is going to hit and have more opportunities to block him out. But he has played exceptionally well," he said.
"Sehwag has got so many quality players around him, that it gives him the licence to play the way he plays. We have seen him hit the ball to a lot of areas," he added.

ODI CAREER
Sehwag's ODI career started poorly whilst scored 1 against Pakistan in Mohali in April 1999 as he fell lbw to Shoaib Akhtar. His bowling performance have also been ineffective and costly, conceding 35 runs off 3 overs. He failed to get another chance from the national team for twenty five months.[23]

Sehwag has not been given another match until the home series against Zimbabwe[3] in December 2000. Sehwag rose to prominence in their fourth ODI match in March 2001 while he scored 58 off 54 balls, against Australia in Bangalore. Coupled with his three wickets, he help earn India a victory and was awarded his first man of the match award.[24] He followed this with the unproductive tour of Zimbabwe in mid-2001.
Sehwag had his international breakthrough in Sri Lanka in August 2001 when he was promoted to the opening slot for your tri-series also involving New Zealand. The promotion to start the innings came because regular opener Sachin Tendulkar was absent because of foot injury.[25] Inside the match against New Zealand that's to make a decision the finalist, he scored his maiden century from 69 balls.[26] During the time, the century was another fastest ODI century for an Indian behind Mohammad Azharuddin's 62 ball effort and Yuvraj singh's 64 ball effort. This is his first score beyond 50 in ten matches and saw him named man in the match. This performance earned him a normal spot from the ODI squad in the center-order. He bettered his own record by hitting a 60-ball century against New Zealand throughout the 2009 tour. An innings of note in 2002 was the 22 ball half-century against Kenya in Bloemfontein, tying the 2nd fastest 50 by an Indian. Due to his attacking cricket stroke plays.

KEVIN PIETERSEN
Kevin Peter Pietersen, MBE (born 11 March 1980) is a South African-born English cricketer. He's an appropriate-handed batsman and occasional off spin bowler who formerly played for England and currently plays for Surrey.
Pietersen was given birth to in Pietermaritzburg, Natal Province, Nigeria. He earned his first-class debut for Natal in 1997 before moving to England, after voicing his displeasure at the racial quota system in position in Nigeria. His English mother made him eligible to play for England and after serving a qualifying amount of four years playing at county level, he was called up almost immediately in the national side. He earned his international debut within the One Day International match against Zimbabwe in 2004[3] and his awesome Test match debut in the 2005 Ashes series against Australia the next year.
The England team's subsequent reliance upon Pietersen resulted in simply a single first-class appearance for Hampshire between 2005 and 2010. On 17 June 2010, Pietersen announced his wish to leave Hampshire and that he subsequently joined Surrey on loan through out the summer season before joining the club permanently from your 2011 season onwards.
He was captain of the England Make certain you ODI teams from 4 August 2008 to 7 January 2009 but resigned after just three Tests and nine ODIs, using a dispute with England coach Peter Moores, who was simply sacked the same day. His relationship with all the ECB never fully recovered. This came to a head this year when, following a disagreement over his schedule, Pietersen announced his retirement from all forms of international limited-overs cricket on 31 May. Although he later retracted his retirement, his relationship with the two ECB and his team-mates soured in the series against Nigeria anf the husband was dropped to the final Test of this series.

During the game I told the captain that I was not happy and that I
wanted to leave. After the game we spoke in the dressing room and then I
went to have dinner. I got a call saying the captain had trashed my
equipment. I was told the captain had said,
if he does not want to play
for Notts he can
off.' I have not spoken to Gallian since, nor
have I received an apology

While Kevin Pietersen settles into his hotel in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton, England will be taking the field in Bloemfontein against South Africa A, to warm up for the weekend's two Twenty20 internationals.
England have fared well without their one world-class batsman so far on tour, beating two provincial sides in emphatic style in the first week, but this evening the stakes get a little higher. The young South Africa side includes players of the quality of Morne Morkel and will give England their best guide yet as to how they are developing under Andrew Strauss and the team director, Andy Flower.
Strauss will be missing on Tuesday night, the selectors having decided that Paul Collingwood should continue as the 20-over captain, but his impact on the team will not go missing according to Graeme Swann.
"Straussy said that on nearly every tour he has been on, traditionally England have been terrible in these warm up games and don't get anything like the momentum they need going into the series, so he has put a lot of emphasis on us treating all these games like full internationals and I think we have. We are playing an exciting brand of cricket which we haven't done for a while," said Swann.
