Virender Sehwag becomes highest scorer for India
Virender Sehwag smashed a world record 219 to become only the second batsman after Sachin Tendulkar to reach the 200-run landmark in ODIs as India posted their highest one-day total of 418 for five in the fourth match against the West Indies in Indore today.
Sehwag surpassed Tendulkar's 200 not out made from 147 balls against South Africa in Gwalior on February 24 last year when he square-cut Andre Russell for a boundary in the 44th over of the Indian innings to go past the 200 mark at the Holkar Stadium.
Sehwag joined his idol Tendulkar in the record books as the only other cricketer to score double hundred in the limited overs game.
The 33-year-old Delhi marauder today also became the highest individual scorer in the 40-year-old history of One-day International.
