Virender Sehwag slams Double Century


Swashbuckling batsman Virender Sehwag re-writes one day history by slamming maiden double century in ODIs as he became only second batsman after Sachin Tendulkar to reach the landmark.

Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar was the first to reach the milestone when he scored unbeaten 200 against South Africa in Gwalior on February 24, 2010.


Sehwag raced to his 150 in just 112 balls with the help of five sixes and 16 boundaries after completing his 15th ODI century off 69 balls.

Skipper Sehwag, who was struggling in the previous three ODIs, got his lost touch back as he scored his blazing ton in just 69 balls which included 10 fours and five sixes.  Sehwag finally falls on 219 runs.

Mumbai Indians - Players

Mumbai exemplifies the essence of its home city. The land of a myriad dreams is a melting pot and the team does its best to showcase the same. The management made a wise move of retaining their four key players namely Sachin Tendulkar, Lasith Malinga, Harbhajan Singh and Kieron Pollard. Along with Tendulkar, its iconic master blaster, the team has solid hitters like Ambati Rayudu and Rohit Sharma combined with a host of experienced all-rounders like Andrew Symonds and Kieron Pollard. As evident, the side has a perfect balance of youth and experience. 

Owned by Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Limited, Mumbai's best show came in the third IPL season, wherein they ended up as finalists, losing to the eventual winners, the Chennai Super Kings. They were also a part of the Champions League T20 that year, but could not sustain for long. In 2011 too, Mumbai Indians qualified to play in the CLT20 as a result of finishing third in the IPL. However, the side was missing most of it's star players like skipper Tendulkar, Munaf, Rohit right from the beginning and also lost Davy Jacobs midway due to a freak injury. Despite that, Mumbai went into the competition as underdogs with the turbanator, Harbhajan Singh leading from the front and emerged as the 2011 Champions League T20 champions, beating the Royal Challengers Bangalore after a brilliant display of teamwork, most noteworthy contribution being that of ace bowler, Lasith Malinga; who not only picked crucial wickets for his side, but also contributed handsomely with the bat.
