Vintage Sehwag.— Trendulkar (@Trendulkar) October 19, 2015Sehwag's 293 was probably the most brutal assault I ever saw in a test match. Shame he didn't reach 300 that day.— Gappistan Radio (@GappistanRadio) October 19, 2015Saddest thing ever. I wish he got a rocking farewell series. https://t.co/Ag3XJjWdWJ— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) October 19, 2015Zaheer Khan and now Virender Sehwag. I just hope Ashish Nehra is not next.— Rahul Roushan (@rahulroushan) October 20, 2015It was my wild fantasy that Sehwag would would have one last dash and give us a final blazing hundred. Few made cricket as exciting as him— Sambit Bal (@sambitbal) October 20, 2015Also read: I did it my way: Sehwag reveals why he's quitting cricket
