this inning seems to b better than his triple centuries as no other batsman dominated on this pitch except gambhir to some extent n viru scored almost 60% of the team total. that way, this is more important inning in viru's career than his triple hundred on dead pitches like in pak.

His triple century was equally good and perhaps more destructive as he was smashing the bowlers all round throughout the innings. Perhaps in that innings he had Tendulkar playing at the other end so there was a good partnership, hence he could play freely. In this one, he had to slow down towards the end as wickets kept falling. After his comeback into the team, Sehwag is playing pretty close to his body and improved his onside strokes as well. Whereas earlier he was predominantly an off side player, now he is playing strokes all round the wicket. There is no doubt that he has stepped into greatness.
