Former India opening batter Virender Sehwag is one of those cricketers to score an ODI double hundred. In fact, Sachin Tendulkar (200 not out) was the first player to do so in a game against South Africa in early 2010. Close to two years later in December 2011, his opening partner, Sehwag managed to do so. In the fourth ODI against the West Indies, the home team, India won the toss and elected to bat first.
They had a great start as Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir put together 176 runs for the first wicket. The latter got run out after 67 runs. Suresh Raina, who was promoted up the order, added another 140 runs for the second wicket. He was also run out after scoring 55 runs. While the likes of Virat Kohli (23*) and Rohit Sharma (27) played cameos, Sehwag became the second cricketer to score a double hundred.
At the time, Tendulkar wasn’t with the team as some of the senior guys were traveling to Australia for an all-format tour. Meanwhile, after the game, the 2011 winner congratulated Sehwag for his maiden double-hundred in ODI. At the time, the two-time World Cup winner broke the record of the highest individual score. While Sachin finished with 200 not out, Sehwag got 219 runs although he was dropped at 170 by Darren Sammy.
Virender Sehwag’s achievement-related question worth 3,20,000
Meanwhile, 12 years after the achievement, a question in the money-winning game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati (Who will be a millionaire). In the recently telecasted episode, the contestant was asked in which stadium Sehwag hit his only double hundred. The correct answer is Holkar Stadium, Indore. While it is unknown whether the contestant has gotten it right or wrong, some cricket-related questions have always been part of the show.
A few years back, a contestant was asked which team had won the most IPL titles. To the surprise of every fan, she answered Royal Challengers Bangalore, which is yet to do so in the history of the Indian Premier League.
