Rana Naved-ul-Hasan to Virender Sehwag – 17 runs (Highest in ODIs)

Virender Sehwag ensured the 1st India Pakistan ODI of this series started with a bang

In the 1st ODI of the India-Pakistan series in 2004, the visitors got off to a buoyant start with opener Virender Sehwag in the form of his life. 79 runs had come off the first 10 overs, but nobody would have been prepared for the 11th over, to be bowled by relative newcomer Rana Naved-ul-Hasan.

Naved must have been so intimidated by the form of Sehwag that he started off the 11th over with a string of five no balls in six balls, three of them being dispatched to the fence by Sehwag. A further 7 runs were taken off the rest of the over. The unfortunate over – 4nb,4nb,0nb,0,4nb,0nb,4,2,0,0,1

India ended up winning the match by 5 runs. A total of twenty no balls had been bowled by the Pakistani bowlers that day, so Naved’s infamy stood out less.
