Virender Sehwag scored 219 in one day international. Virender Sehwag is now the highest individual scorer in One day international. He brooked Sachin's record, who scored first one day 200* against South Africa.
This is what Sehwag told to Ravi Shastri after the 1st innings.
I never expected to score a double hundred. While opening the innings, I told Gautam Gambhir that if we can show some patience on this track, we will be in for a big one as the wicket is a good one. The outfield is fantastic and the distance of the boundary is only 50 yards.
About when thought about 200:
It was only after the batting Powerplay started, I felt that I could reach double hundred. Also when Sammy dropped me, I knew that God was with me.
Thanks to fans:
I want to thank my family and fans. I know people expected me to score a double century. Today when I wanted to hit a six, I just did that.
Obviously, I am very tired. I am an old man now and my back gets stiff. So I need to take an ice bath.
