Virender Sehwag PICIndia again made history in New Zealand at Hamilton after Sachin Tendulkar who scored his first century in New Zealand at Christ Church in the 3rd One Day International.This is the first time in the history of cricket that India won a bilateral one day International Series in New Zealand.No Indian team had achieved it before.

New Zealand who batted first scored a total of 270 runs with a loss of 5 wickets in 47 overs (overs reduced due to rain).Brendon McCullum is the top scorer for his side with 77 runs.India won the game with such an ease that Only Sehwag and Ghambir played the game for India.

India scored 201 runs in just 23.3 overs (won the game in D/L method)with Sehwag played in his usual aggressiveness scored a ton of 125* runs in just 74 balls with fourteen 4’s and Six 6’s.Gautham Ghambir joined with Sehwag scored 67* runs in 63 balls with six 4’s.So M S Dhoni and his men had a shot at Cricketing Immortality,which isn’t something that comes along often.
