Indian skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 for his record ton of 219 runs in the fourth One Day International (ODI) of the series.
“I want to say that others may have said that are a few who could score double century in ODIs, but I always believed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HA-Varaiya-c1520 could always score 200 on his day. With Viru, it's not just about big shots, but calculative batting," Dhoni said.
On Thursday, December 08, 2011, Sehwag became the only man in the history of the 50-over game to score 219 runs.
The opener surpassed the record of his mentor http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in 2010.

India’s top middle-order batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 has said that his side’s only target in the upcoming series in Australia against the hosts is to win.

“There is no particular target in terms of runs. The only target is to win the series. Hopefully, we prepare well, and play well. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 is a great place to play cricket. It's a great challenge," added the middle-order batsman.
