The one-day-international (ODI) ICC World Cup 2011 finally kicked off today,
and the first match, India vs Bangladesh (Ind vs Ban), at Shere Bangla
Stadium in Mirpur, saw India whip Bangladesh by 87 runs.
The match saw a blitzkreig from Virender
Sehwag, who almost reached the highest score in ODIs (200* of Sachin
Tendulkar in Hyderabad, vs South Africa, in 2010). His rampaging innings of 175 in 140 balls saw India score a huge 370/4 in its 50 overs. Virat Kohli
ably supported Virender Sehwag, with an almost equally fierce century - 100
off 83 balls, not out. It appears like Kohli is on his way to becoming a
star cricket icon, too.
In reply, Bangladesh could manage only 283 runs in its innings.
The World Cup highest score belongs to India, too - it made 434 against
lowly Bermuda in the 2007 edition.
