Sehwag's Double Century
Virender Sehwag became
only the second batsman after Sachin Tendulkar to reach the monumental
landmark in the limited-over cricket as he raced to maiden double century
in just 140 balls.
Sehwag surpassed Tendulkar's 200 not out made from 147 balls against South Africa in Gwalior on February 24 last year. The dashing opening batsman made his record double century in 140 balls with the help of 23 fours and six sixes at the jam-packed Holkar Stadium. He reached the feat when he square-cut Andre Russell for a boundary in the 44th over of the Indian innings, setting off wild celebrations in the stands and dressing room. With this world record,
Sehwag has now the highest innings score in both the forms of the game
for India: 219 in ODIs and 319 in Tests
