Source: Cricket Nirvana
After losing the 1st test against Srilanka, India was again facing a danger of follow on when early on the third morning India lost three quick wickets with Sehwag stumped on 99!
But Sachin and Raina played well to take India to a safer position. Sachin scored his 48th century and he is just piling up his records. This is his 94th international century.

India Number 1 in ICC Test Rankings!
The longest form of the game returned to the historic Brabourne stadium after a hiatus of 36 years and the home team has dished out a performance full of class that will be remembered for as many years. An emphatic victory of an innings and 24 runs not only helps India seal the series with a margin of 2-0, but also takes them to the top of the ICC Test rankings. It is an historic day for Indian cricket as they now become the number one Test team in the world. The climb to the top slot is the culmination of hard work and consistent performance by India's Test side over the last two years. Sachin Tendulkar made a very vital point in his assessment. The maestro from Mumbai thanked India's ex bowling coach Venkatesh Prasad and fielding coach Robin Singh for their contribution. He also felt that the Brabourne pitch was a brilliant one. 'The whole team's goal was to get to the No. 1 position, all the players have worked hard to reach this position. The team believed they could achieve the top slot around 18 months back and worked hard to achieve the goal.'
Virender Sehwag bagged the Man of the Match award for his stupendous knock of 293 runs. The Nawab of Najafgarh also claimed the Man of the Series award.
MS Dhoni made the most important point
of maintaining the ascent to the top spot. It is easy to reach to the top position but difficult to retain it. 'Now we have got to maintain the top slot. The real tough task starts from here, we have got to keep up the momentum. When we are pushed to the wall, we comeback, overall I think it was a team effort from the boys.'

Sehwag hits unbeaten 284 in a single day of Test Cricket!
Test cricket does something inexplicable to Virender Sehwag. There’s no visible sign, but it all comes beautifully together with deadly affect.
Even after a decade of international cricket, he has remarkably managed to retain his free-spirit and what he seems to add to his repertoire while playing Test is discretion. Whether the entire process occurs by merely donning the white flannel or he consciously makes th
e adjustment is something only Viru could explain. Though there are chances even he may not know for batting comes so naturally to him. And it often means playing shots.
With Sehwag in sublime form, the patrons of Brabourne stadium, where Test cricket returned after 36 years, couldn’t have asked for more. Runs came like torrential rain, as Sehwag scored a magnificent 284 not out, which included 40 fours and 7 sixes. This was his sixth double century. At stumps, India scored a record 443 for one. Incidentally, this was India’s second 400-plus runs in a day in as many Tests.
World’s highest wicket-taker, Muttiah Muralitharan has rarely been so decisively dominated by any other batsman, as Sehwag did on day-two. In his five spell of 20 overs, Murali conceded 119 runs and went wicketless. Tried from both ends by captain Kumar Sangakkara, the off-spinner never looked so hapless and ineffective before. Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath was treated with utter disdain, as Sehwag clobbered him for four towering sixes. He conceded 112 runs from 22 overs for lone wicket of Murli.
Test cricket is changing decisively. It may be played over five days, but it’s fast changing into five days of One-day cricket. Or else how does one explain 366 runs on day-one and 443 runs coming off in 79 overs from India on day-two.
