Sehwag got to his 200 against West Indies in the fourth ODI of the series against West Indies at Indore. Sachin Tendulkar, also from India, was the first batsman to score a double-century in ODI cricket when he battered the South African bowlers to his knock of 200 at Gwalior in 2010. 

India won the toss and decided to bat first on a placid Indore pitch and were afforded a flier by the pair of Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir got to his half-century and was run-out soon after but in Suresh Raina, Sehwag found an able partner. 

The pair added 140 for the second wicket in less than 18 overs before Raina became the second wicket to fall. He was run-out too. By then, India had crossed 300 and Sehwag was on 182 with more than nine overs to go.

On his way to his double-century, Sehwag broke many records, including his own highest score (which was 175) and the highest ever by a captain of the team. In the process, he also crossed 8000 runs in ODI cricket. 

Sehwag needed only 140 balls to score his double-century, an innings that had 23 boundaries and a whopping six sixes. 

The Indian opener has already scored two triple-centuries in Test match cricket and a 291 to go with it. 

India lead the series 2-1 after having won the first two games of the series and losing the previous match.
