Virender Sehwag is known for rewriting records and he was the one man who could one his day overtake Sachin’s lonely 200 made from the start of one dayers in 1971 – the other one touted is Chris Gayle – who unfortunately is not allowed or is not playing for his country.

At Indore, he set the Holkar’s place ablaze by making the highest ever in ODI score of 219 off 149 balls and was out dismissed in the 47th over. Of the 10 400+ scores, India now has 4.
