Rakesh Saini — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 20:22:48 +0530

Sehwag, under severe pressure for his place in the starting line-up after a miserable run of form, hit 17 fours and three sixes from 87 balls faced. India made the highest ever world cup score and also equals the world record of 18 sixes in an inning, Yuvraj Singh hits 7 sixes alone.
