Sehwag becomes highest scorer in ODIs

Flamboyant Virender Sehwag on Thursday created history by becoming the highest scorer ever in a one-day innings and the second cricketer after team-mate Sachin Tendulkar to score a double century in the fourth ODI against the West Indies here.

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 6 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.
