Sehwag Missed Triple Century World Record at 293 Due to Dravid's Advice

• Virender Sehwag was on the verge of becoming the first cricketer with three Test triple centuries, scoring 284 runs in a single day against Sri Lanka.
• Rahul Dravid advised Sehwag to slow down and avoid risks with few overs left, suggesting he could comfortably reach 300 the next day.
• Sehwag followed the advice, but was dismissed for 293 off 254 balls the next morning by Muttiah Muralitharan, adding only nine runs.
• He later regretted not continuing his natural attacking approach, missing a world record despite a dominant innings of 40 fours and seven sixes.
• India won the Test by an innings and 24 runs, with MS Dhoni also scoring a century in the same match.
