Flamboyant opener Virender Sehwag hit a world record score of 219 on Thursday as India reached a mammoth 418-5 against the West Indies in the fourth one-day international at the Holkar Cricket Stadium.
Sehwag broke compatriot Sachin Tendulkar’s previous one-day mark of 200 not out against South Africa at Gwalior last year, smashing 25 fours and seven sixes in his 149-ball knock.
Sehwag’s 15th ODI century was his first as captain and beat his previous highest score of 175 against Bangladesh at the 2011 World Cup.
Electing to bat, captain Sehwag added 176 runs for the opening wicket with Gautam Gambhir (67) and 140 for the next with Suresh Raina (55) as India looked set to seal the five-game series which it leads 2-1.

  7. I hope Indian and Pakistan find peace and unity. We are the same thee is no two ways about it. oUr taste buds are the same, our interest in art is the same. WHy are we fighting each other? If we unite as nations, we don't have to depend on anyone. We have good agricultural lands, we have enough resources and we have a huge population for all our businesses to thrive and prosper. If we can create a zone like the Euro zone with Bangladesh, Srilanka, Nepal,Bhutan and Burma we will be the most powerful economical, military and social block of the world where we will have minimal dependence for resources on any other nation………..

  8. I am surprised we are fighting like immature degenarates who lack commonsense. THe land that we call our home country was dwelled upon by all our ancestors and they all came from different parts of the world. They laid a strong foundation for their future gens which is us and we thank them by fighting and quarelling like wild animals and supporting others who wants nothing but see our destruction and enslavement? Shame on all of us who claim to be patriotic and throw mud at the other person whose blood God knows is probably running in you too if you go back some years in history.

  9. Why is the Pakistani Military spending so much money on destroying India and depriving regular Pakistainis of good education and infrastructure and consequnetly a good life? WHy are we playing cat and mouse with each other when we should embrace each other and be strong against our enemies. WHy is India not extending the hand of peace and trying to help Pakistan in the hour of need when foreginers are running all over her. Shame people, shame on all of you. All our ancestors will be so embarassed. The subcontinent has been ruled by some great kings like Asoka, Akbar, Ranjeet SIngh of Punjab and you name it. We have also had Gandhi, Nehru,Jinnah, BAGATH SINGH etc. WOnder what they think about our foolsihness and stupidity for falling right into the hands of British and the Americans. In the name of Kashmir thousands of Pakistnai and Indian youngsters are dying when they should be taking care of their families and making a good life. Why? We will only win if we both win. If one of us lose we all lose.

  10. THe BRITISH and the AMERICANS just want our resources and rule over us. You can't blame them coz they are just being themselves. However, its our responsibilty to protet our own and not let ourselves to be used a pawn agaisnt each other. Once they are done with one of us they will try and destroy the other. They are no one's friend and it is very obvious. THink about this guys. Don't wait for our govt to sign agreement on dotted. Lets start with the common man on the street. NO MATTER WAHT LETS STOP HATING EACH OTHER AND INFLICTING HARM ON EACH OTHER. LETS TELL OTHERS THAT WE WONT LET THEM USE US AGAINST EACH OTHER! May our lands and its people prosper for ever!

  13. Well Said Mohammed… Thanks.But politicians still use the conflicts as trump card to play with our emotions. That's what happening. Once they ignites the emotion , no one will worry whether our nation is progressing in all fields or not. Indian wants to defeat pakistani and pakistani wants to defeat indian. Its blind.

  15. Deer brother Muhamed your thinking is greatest one. I am an Indian. I salute you. But at first you should try to convince all of Pakistani brother to make success your dream, just like I am trying in India. Then you will see that by the pressure of people both in India and Pakistan, the politicials will be compelled to declare India and Pakistan as an one nation.

  16. Excellent Mohammed , I salute u….Im indian….i dont pakistan at all..some Polliticians and some countries are playing double game and keepying us away always. We should understand each other and mainly should forget our past bitter experience…..
