Record holders
Virender Sehwag has broken Sachin Tendulkar's record who was first batsman ever to score an one day twofold century yet who are the other batsman who held it before Sehwag & Tendulkar? Saeed Anwar was pioneer between 1997 to 2009 until Charls Coventry rose to him. John Edrich's 82 was the most noteworthy score in the first ever ODI, which was then broken by DL Amiss who made initial hundred in 50 over cricket = 103 in 1972. Roy Fredericks broke that record inside a year with his 105, which was then broken by English David Lloyd's 116 not out against Pakistan an alternate year later in 1974.
Glenn Turner of New Zealand possessed the record with his 171* against East Africa for 8 year, since 1975 to 1983 when Kapil Dev made 175* against Zimbabwe. Vivian Richards then held the record for a long time, from 31 May 1984 to 21 May 1997 when Saeed Anwar hit 194 against Indians at Chennai as you seen in the above rundown.
