Virender Sehwag created history ten years ago on this day when he became only the second cricketer to score a double century in ODIs – the first being Sachin Tendulkar. Sehwag, however, passed Tendulkar to score 219 runs to set a record for the highest ODI score at the time during a match against West Indies. En route to his 219, he hit 41 boundaries and 7 sixes.
