Virender Sehwag named Wisden's Leading Cricketer for the year 2009.
It is second time he has been awarded it. He won it in 2008 also.
The award was started in 2004 and six cricketers have won it so far. Unlike Wisden cricketers (5 players) of the year award, this award can be given more than once.
His outstanding batting in Test Matches was better than 2008 and he scored at a strike rate of 108 plus in Tests!
Dilshan and Strauss were in the run but finally they couldn't overhaul Sehwag.
Congrats to Sehwag!

Congratulations to Sehwag for retaining his Wisden award from last year. He is one of the reasons why India are on the top of the Test pile. He is a phenomenal test player who can change the state of the game in a single session as he displayed against England last year. More than anything that might have convinced the Wisden panelist to give the award to Sehwag.
Cheers!

Wow !! That is a great achievement on Sehwag's part. Let us hope that he continues his form in this year also.
A strike rate of 108 is phenomenal too !!
