The entire Chennai stadium erupted with joy as Sehwag scored the fastest triple century ever. Sehwag blasted 42 fours and 5 sixes in an incredible batting display, scoring 257 runs in a day, out of 384 runs scored by his team !
His 309 not out today is considered better than his 309 at Multan. On the first day, he was then 228 not out. Today he scored 257 runs !
His captain had told him to bat responsibly til the end and he did oblige Kumble !
At lunch he was 110 and at tea he was 218, scoring a century during the post lunch session, off only 67 balls. . He said it hurt when he was out of the team. He had worked hard and Kumble's advice was very apt.
Some of his shots were described by the commentator Rameez Raja as " lazy elegance "
300 off 278 balls ! The fastest 300 ball-wise! He plays a Test match like a T20!
He became the third batsman to score a triple hundred twice, after Lara and Bradman !
What a glorious day for Indian cricket! India 468/1 ! India has become a world power in Cricket and is going from strength to strength. Gone is the inferiority complex which had plagued this nation !
Harmison may join IPL. May both IPL and ICL go from strength to strength, promoting this game of glorious uncertainties ! Healthy is this competition between IPL and ICL. Players are already benefitted !
