Sehwag leaves Kiwis shell-shocked NZ V IND 2009 4TH ONE DAY HIGHLIGHTS
India had earlier restricted New Zealand to 270 for five in 47 overs after the match was truncated following a couple of rain interruptions.
For the hosts, Brendon McCullum (77) and Jesse Ryder (46) added 102 runs for the opening stand while Peter McGlashan (56) and Grant Elliot (35) starred in an unbeaten 95-run stand.
The Indian innings also encountered a few rain interruptions but neither the rain god nor the Kiwi bowlers could stop Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir (63 not out) who guided India to 201 for no loss in 23.3 overs which was enough to seal the match and the series.
Sehwag was ballistic and he virtually butchered the hapless Kiwi attack with a flurry of electrifying strokes, which warmed the cockles of the hearts of Indian fans on a cold, blustery, rainy night.
Sehwag and Gambhir tore the Kiwis apart. It didn't matter to them that the target was altered with each rain interruption, as India were initially set to make 281 from 47 overs to overhaul New Zealand's 270 for five.
