The 33-year-old joined compatriot Sachin Tendulkar as the only batsmen to hit double-centuries in the 50-over format when he passed 200 in the 44th over of India´s innings at the Holkar stadium in Indore.[break]
Tendulkar, the world´s leading Test and one-day batsman, made 200 not out against South Africa in Gwalior in February 2010.
Sehwag surpassed Tendulkar´s score when, on 197, he cut Andre Russell to the point fence for his 23rd boundary.
The Delhi batsman hit 25 boundaries and seven sixes before he was caught in the deep off Kieron Pollard. India piled up 418-5 after electing to bat on an easy pitch.
It was Sehwag´s 15th three-figure knock in one-day cricket and the first since making 175 against Bangladesh in the opening match of the World Cup in Dhaka in February this year.
