Viru's best innings in his 67 Test career :
- 195 vs Australia, MCG, 2003
- 201 vs SL, Galle, 2008
- 180 vs Aus, Chennai, 2004 (or 200 not sure)
- 309 vs Pak, Multan 2004
- 153 vs Aus, Adelaide 2008
He is an asset to the Test team and his starts would chalk the future of India in Tests ahead. He should easily finish with 10000 test runs provided he remains fit.
He is close to 6000 runs in 67 tests and had he not missed those 9 tests in 2006-07 when Dilip Vengsarkar shamelessly promoted his state mate Wasim Jaffer on his expense, Sehwag would have got even more big scores.
A big score in Tests is due since long now. Better
