Wankhede Stadium is turning out to be one of Virender Sehwag's favourite venues. The last time the Nawab of Najafgarh played at this venue (where he along with his India teammates lifted the 2011 World Cup in April), Sehwag slammed a 58-ball 122 as Kings XI Punjab stormed into the Indian Premier League-7 (IPL) final beating Chennai Super Kings in the Qualifier 2.

In five IPL matches at the Wankhede Stadium, Sehwag has scored 160 runs. Yesterday, Sehwag brought back memories of 'Vintage Viru' during his quickfire 19-ball 36 against hosts Mumbai Indians. Sehwag, who was out for a duck in Kings XI Punjab's opening clash against Rajasthan Royals in Pune on Friday, did not disappoint the Wankhede crowd.
