Top 3 highest individual scores as captain in ODIs

#1 Virender Sehwag - 219 vs West Indies, 2011

Virender Sehwag led the team like a true leader and went on to score a double-ton

West Indies toured India for a 5-ODI series in 2011. After losing the 3rd ODI in a very closely-fought contest, the hosts entered the 4th ODI with a 2-1 lead, aiming to take the series. In the 4th ODI at Indore, Virender Sehwag did not disappoint and played a crucial captain's knock, leading India from the front and helping the Men in Blue post a mammoth total of 418-5 in 50 overs.

Sehwag bludgeoned 219 off just 149 balls, accompanied by 25 fours and 7 sixes. He added 176-runs for the opening wicket with Gautam Gambhir and 140 runs for the second wicket with Suresh Raina. This was Sehwag's 15th (and last) ODI century which was also his first ever double century in one-day cricket.

In return, West Indies got all-out for 265 in 49.2 overs with Jadeja and Rohit Sharma, each picking up 3 wickets. Sehwag was adjudged the Man of the Match.
