13 years ago in 2004 Sehwag became the first Indian cricketer to slam a triple hundred during the Test match against arch-rivals Pakistan in Multan.
It was the Delhi-lad's epic 309-run knock off 375 deliveries that earned the Indian dasher the title of 'Sultan of Multan'.
Sehwag's mammoth innings helped the side beat Pakistan by an innings and 52 runs. India won the Test series against Pakistan 2-1 and Sehwag played very important role in that historic series.
Adding an image of himself with a map of Multan in his tweet, Sehwag wrote, "On this Day In 2004, ended up doing Registry of this place in my name. Thank you for your loving reminders, an innings I will always cherish."
