Speaking to Star Sports TV commentator Harsha Bhogle during the ongoing fourth Test between India and South Africa in Delhi, the 37-year-old said, "Regret that I did not score 400."
Sehwag was felicitated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India on Thursday ahead of the start of play at the Feroz Shah Kotla. He had retired from international cricket on October 20.
The attacking Delhi batsman became the first Indian to score a triple ton in Tests when he hit 309 against Pakistan in 2004. He bettered his own performance with 319 against South Africa four years later. Sehwag missed out a record third triple ton when he made 293 against Sri Lanka in 2009.
He became the second player in ODI history to score a double hundred (219 vs West Indies in 2011). He held the record for the highest individual ODI score till 2014 when it was broken by Rohit Sharma (264 vs Sri Lanka).
