Sehwag’s 219 runs in 149 balls came against a spirited West Indies side who surprisingly put up a good fight in all the ODIs barring one, better than what England had done. That one exception came at Indore when the Nawab of Najafgarh finally did what was expected of him – to score a double century in ODI. He did it in his own style demolishing the West Indian attack to all parts of the Holkar stadium.

In the process he helped India post their highest ODI total of 418 for 5 and also broke the highest individual record of 200 not out that Sachin had scored at Gwalior less than two years back.
