Sehwag highest run getter in ODI cricket


India's opener Virender Sehwag has created history with a score of 201 not out in just 140 balls. He scored 219 runs innnig against West Indies at Indore.  He beats Sachin Tendulkar's record of 200 not out.  Team India is on a brilliant start with 418 runs for the loss of five wickets in 50 overs. Openers Virender Sehwag and Guatam Gambhir gave the home side a push in the fourth ODI versus West Indies.
Sehwag has put up a stunning performance, enthralling fans gathered at the Holkar stadium in Indore. With a score of 201, not out, breaking his ODI high score record of 175.  Sehwag has now got the highest individual score for India both in tests and ODI.



Earlier in the day, India won the toss in Indore on Thursday, and opted to bat this time against the West Indies in the fourth ODI cricket match in the series in Indore.
One change in the Indian team is Rahul Sharma, a debutant legspinner, replaces Umesh Yadav in the playing eleven. The inclusion of Rahul Sharma will mean that all Irfan Pathan fans will not get to see him play at Indore.
India will be looking to wrap up the series, which they lead by a 2-1 score, with a win on Thursday. India, will also be hoping that the top order batsmen, especially V Sehwag and G Gambhir, who have failed with the bat in the series, get to fire big scores.
