Virender Sehwag produced one of the most destructive ODI innings of all time as India clinched their first-ever ODI series victory in New Zealand in emphatic fashion.
Chasing a challenging target under overcast skies and rain interruptions, Sehwag blasted India’s fastest ODI century, reaching three figures off just 60 balls with a trademark six. His unbeaten 125 made a mockery of the New Zealand bowling attack, with even seasoned campaigners like Daniel Vettori struggling to contain the onslaught.
Batting alongside him, Gautam Gambhir played the perfect foil with a near run-a-ball half-century as the duo added 201 runs at a staggering run rate of 8.55, the second-fastest double-century partnership in ODI history at the time. Rain breaks did little to slow Sehwag, who raced from 52 to 92 in just five overs after play resumed.
Earlier, New Zealand had posted a competitive total thanks to fighting knocks from Brendon McCullum, Peter McGlashan, and Grant Elliott, but disciplined bowling from Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, Yuvraj Singh, and Yusuf Pathan ensured India always stayed in the hunt.
This match remains a landmark moment in Indian cricket — a reminder of Sehwag at his most fearless and destructive.
