Virender Sehwag was waging a lone battle at the other end whilst all this was happening. Despite the fall of wickets, the swashbuckling Indian opener let loose one audacious shot after another to ensure that India could at least boast a vigorous run rate. India were 84-4 in the 13th over when Sehwag too fell following a blustery 48 off 36 balls, including eight fours. Yuvraj Singh followed soon after as India threatened to plumb the depths of despair.
