Virat Kohli has been India's most important person for the past decade or so with the bat where his classics have dominated the opposition day in and day out. Kohli under his best form is known to finish matches single-handedly with the bat as his best came out during crunch situations.

However, there was one moment in the past when the veteran made some mistake that caused his then-senior teammate Virender Sehwag to get furious.

Sehwag who was known was big-hitting abilities was a handy off-spinner who used to often bowl and pick up crucial wickets of the opposition's mainstay batters. Fondly known as 'Sultan of Multan', the right-hander recalled a moment from the time when he was bowling and Delhi youngster dropped a catch at mid-wicket.

If the catch was taken, Sehwag would have attained a milestone but that didn't happen so it made him quite angry. So much so, that he felt more disgruntled than missing a triple century.

"I don't know about magic but I did get some big batters out with my bowling. Ponting, Hayden, Hussey, Sangakkara, Jayawardene, Dilshan, Lara, some top batters. I once dismissed Gilchrist round his legs in Perth. The big ones did fall to me sometimes,"



"I actually felt quite sad when Virat Kohli once dropped a dolly off me at mid-wicket once. I would have probably got to some bowling milestone but he ended up putting it down. I got so angry, probably far more than when I missed a triple century. I told him come on man, you should have caught that."

In his remarkable career, Sehwag picked up 40 wickets with the ball in just 104 games that included a five-wicket haul.
