Is Sehwag among India's greatest Test batsmen?

The explosive opening batsman's match-winning knocks of 131 and 293 in Kanpur and Mumbai in the home test series against Sri Lanka gave the team a 2-0 win this month and the number one ranking for the first time.

The 31-year-old Delhi batsman has carried the same approach into one-dayers which helped him to stroke a career-best 146, his first ODI hundred at home since 2005, and set up a thrilling three-run win in Tuesday's high-scoring first game in Rajkot.

His latest exploits have removed any lingering doubts about his place as an all-time great test batsman.
