Virender Sehwag was honoured by the Delhi District Cricket Association on Tuesday as it named the Gate 2 of the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium as the “Virender Sehwag” gate. A day before India play New Zealand at the stadium, the former India cricketer was present at the small function.
However, DDCA committed a huge blunder while honouring Sehwag and ended up disrespecting Karnataka cricketer Karun Nair. On the Virender Sehwag gate, it is written that he is the only Indian cricketer to score a triple century in Tests which is not true. Nair scored a triple century against England in 2016 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk Chennai.
India have two players who have scored triple centuries in Test cricket. While Sehwag is the first player to hit a triple century in Test cricket from India, Karun Nair is the lastest.
