Virender Shewag has scored 284 at stumps on the second day of the third test match against Sri Lanka at Mumbai today. He is just 16 runs away from creating a world record.One wishes he creates a new world record by scoring his third triple century and become the first in the history of world cricket to score three triple centuries in test cricket.The other two who have scored triple centuries twice in Test Cricket are Don Bradman and Brain Lara.If Viru achieves this feat tomorrow,it would become a world record very difficult to beat for a very long time to come,since Lara has retired from active Cricket and the great Bradman is no more.His previous triple centuries were at Chennai last year against South Africa (319)and 309 against Pakistan at Multan in 2004.He was even described by the media as the'Sultan of Multan' for some time.One sincerely wishes in the process, he also overhauls Lara's world record of 400 in test cricket by any batsman in the world tomorrow.He is good enough to achieve this feat also.No doubt Schewag is considered as the most destructive batsmen in world cricket.
