Indore: Virender Sehwag
bludgeoned the West Indies for 219 in the fourth ODI, surpassing
Sachin Tendulkar's unbeaten 200, to set the highest individual
score in One-Day Internationals here Friday.
Sehwag's 149-ball carnage was laced with 25 fours and seven sixes.
He got past Tendulkar's record with a four through point off Andre
Russel. Sehwag's double ton came in 142 balls.
Tendulkar's 200 off 147 balls (25x4, 3x6) came against South
Africa at Gwalior in February 2010. He was the first cricketer to
score a double century in ODIs.
Sehwag got a life when he was on 171 with West Indies captain
Darren Sammy dropping a sitter. He was finally dismissed by Kieron
Pollard, caught by substitute Anthony Martin at long on.
Sehwag's top score before this innings was 175 against Bangladesh
in the World Cup opener earlier this year.
