The innings is the highest individual score in ODI and Sehwag en route to the landmark broke Sachin Tendulkar's 200 not out against South Africa in Gwalior. Sehwag's 149-ball innings was studded with 25 fours and seven sixes.
As a mark of respect for Sehwag's knock, SG, the leading manufacturer of cricket equipments, launched a limited edition series "VS 219."
Paras Anand, director SG, said the bat has been designed for big hitters.
"The limited edition bat is a tribute to Sehwag's record innings of 219 runs. This bat has been designed for the big hitters like Sehwag. It is a meaty and powerful bat for all the young Sehwags in the making," Anand said.
The light-weight bats are made from English willow and have edges, bold profile, remarkable balance and a huge sweet spot. The handle of the bat is made from Saravak cane and is covered with the new chevtec grip designed for good control.
