I never expected to score a double hundred -Viru

Virender Sehwag, the Stand-in captain as MS Dhoni has given rest for this series with West Indies, today created history by scoring 219 the highest ODI score ever scored. He added that he never expected to score a double hundred. God gave him courage and he did. He added

"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," Sehwag said after his milestone knock of 219 off just 149 balls against the West Indies.
