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."

The 38-year-old Nawab of Najafgarh didn't stop there for he had another historic moment from his illustrious Test career to share. The witty cricketer went on writing how good he felt by meeting his targets in the month of March.

"Also 9 years ago on this day, got out for 319 against SA, having reached 300 previous day. March mein target poora karne ki alag hi feel hai (It is a different feeling altogether to meet your targets in March)," he tweeted further.

Sehwag became only the first Indian cricketer to slam two triple-ton after he smashed 319 against South Africa.

Sehwag slammed his second Test triple on March 28, 2008 and was dismissed for 319 on the next day i.e. on March 29.
