Answers
Answer:
Virender Sehwag, affectionately known as Viru and the Nawab of Najafgarh, also called the Zen master of modern cricket, or the Viv Richards of this era by columnists, is one of the finest and most destructive batsmen in world cricket, Sehwag was born on October 20, 1978, in Delhi. He is a top order right-handed batsman and a right arm off break bowler.
Son of a grain merchant, Sehwag spent his childhood in a bungalow in a joint family. Though now settled in New Delhi, the family hailed from Haryana. He was the third of four children born to father Krishan and mother Krishna, with two older sisters Manju, Anju and younger brother Vinod. His father attributes his interest in cricket to a toy bat which he was given when he was seven months old. He attended Arora Vidya School in Delhi and pestered his parents to let him play cricket, on the basis that he was not academically gifted.
Sehwag married Aarti Alhawat in April 2004 under heavy security in a media publicized wedding. The couple has two sons Aaryavir and Vedhant. Sehwag is fondly referred to in the media as the Nawab of Najafgarh, Najafgarh being his home locality in Delhi. A lifelong vegetarian, he owns a vegetarian eatery, Sehwag Favorites, which opened in late 2005 in the Fun Republic Cineplex in Delhi.
