Mar. 28, 2008

Sehwag's unbeaten 309 equaled his own highest score for an Indian batsman in tests, and spurred India to 468-1 in its first innings at stumps on day three against South Africa.

Continuing the form of his unbeaten 151 against Australia in India's previous test, Sehwag struck 42 fours and five sixes off 292 deliveries during his 8-1/2 hour innings.

Sehwag's reached 300 in 278 balls, making it the fastest ever triple century in the recorded-balls era, surpassing Australia opener Matthew Hayden, who took 362 balls to reach the mark against Zimbabawe in 2003-04.

Sehwag's other triple century, the only previous one by an Indian batsman, was 309 against Pakistan at Multan in 2004.
