Sehwag falls short of 3rd 300

Sehwag had fallen agonizingly short of a slew of world records when he scooped a simple return catch to Muttiah Muralidaran off his own bowling.

Sehwag, who went into the day needing just 16 more to become first ever cricketer in Test cricket’s more than a century old history to score three triple hundreds, fell for 293 runs in just the day’s 4th over, much to the disappointment of not only the packed Brabourne Stadium audience, but also millions of Indian cricket fans around the world.

Sehwag had recorded the second fastest double hundred and the fastest 250 during his 239 ball, unbeaten 284 runs yesterday, lasting 254 balls for his masterpiece that was laced with 40 boisterous boundaries and 7 sixes.
Sehwag’s dismissal also brought curtains to the Rahul Dravid-Sehwag association that yielded 237 runs for the second wicket in just 43.1 overs.
