Sehwag breath-taking knock Higest ODI Runs Record Holder

Sehwag has come a long way since his early days when he was called a similar Tendulkar and the 33-year-old struck a blazing 219 against West Indies to surpass his mentor in his 240th one-day international. Tendulkar, who hit 200 not out against South Africa in Gwalior in February 2010, was among the first batch of Indian cricketers to leave for the team’s Australia tour. Sehwag had entered the record book after a breath-taking knock that left him drained.

One of the few batsmen considered capable of hitting 200 in one-dayers, Sehwag punched air before hugging batting partner Rohit Sharma.

Sehwag survived a run-out chance when he was on 20 and could have been dismissed on 170 as well but his opposite number Darren Sammy, running from extra cover, dropped an easy catch off Ravi Rampaul.

Sehwag took 41 balls to reach his half-century and needed 28 more to score his 15th ODI century. His 150 came off 112 balls and by the time Kieron Pollard ended his 149-ball batting pyrotechnics studded with seven sixes.
