Warne praises Sehwag in his book

Australian legendary spinner Shane Warne has showered accolades on Indian batsman Virender Sehwag in an intriguing story in his book called 'Shane Warne's century'.

Warne described the Indian triple-centurion as one of his most liked batsmen in the world.

"Sehwag is one of my favourite batsmen in world cricket and one of my favourite personalities. This is a guy I would pay to watch. Alright, he could get caught at third man to a big slash or a top edge in the first or second over, but he could just as easily bat for an hour in a way unmatched by anybody else in the world," wrote the spinner about the Indian willower.

He also went on to call him a match winner and has also penned down that if he would be a captain he would not mind including an out-of-form Sehwag in the lineup.

However, a self-proclaimed fan of India's star batsman Sachin Tendulkar, Warnes thinks a comparison between Sehwag and Tendulkar would be unfair.
