One of the most feared openers of the Indian cricket team, Virender Sehwag, revealed how he learned the straight drive shot with the help of his legendary former colleague Sachin Tendulkar. The former batsman who was attending an app launch event on Wednesday said that he started watching cricket on Television in the 1992 World Cup, and by watching the television he tried to learn Sachin's signature straight drive. Sehwag went on to highlight the importance of technology and the Internet. The 42-year-old  who made his debut in 1999 at the age of 21, said that if he had the facility of the Internet in those days he would have learned things faster and possibly played for India at a younger age.
