Virender Sehwag delivered one of the most destructive ODI innings in history, smashing India's fastest-ever ODI century off just 60 balls to lead India to a dominant 10-wicket victory over New Zealand in Napier. His blitz overshadowed Gautam Gambhir's composed half-century as India comfortably chased down the target despite multiple rain interruptions. Sehwag’s innings was filled with breathtaking strokes, including four consecutive boundaries in an over off Iain O’Brien and a massive six to bring up his century. The New Zealand bowlers, including debutant Ewen Thompson (4-0-42-0), had no answers as Sehwag and Gambhir raced to a 201-run partnership, the second-fastest double-century stand in ODI history at the time. Earlier, New Zealand had posted a competitive total, thanks to Brendon McCullum (77), Peter McGlashan (56), and Grant Elliott (35), but their momentum was halted by India's bowling attack, led by Zaheer Khan and Praveen Kumar. Despite a late surge from McGlashan and Elliott, New Zealand's 270+ total proved inadequate against India's fearless batting. 🏏 Key Moments: ✅ Virender Sehwag’s 60-ball century – India’s fastest in ODIs ✅ Unbeaten 201-run partnership with Gautam Gambhir (63)* ✅ New Zealand’s total boosted by McCullum’s 77 & McGlashan’s inventive fifty ✅ Zaheer Khan & Praveen Kumar’s early breakthroughs ✅ Ewen Thompson concedes 10.50 runs per over on debut ✅ India’s first-ever ODI series victory in New Zealand 📌 Don’t forget to Like, Share & Subscribe for more legendary cricket moments! #IndiaVsNewZealand #CricketMax #Highlights
