Virender Sehwag (293)
It was the final test match between India and Sri Lanka which took place during the 2009-10 season, India were already 1-0 up and were favourite to sweep the series. Sri Lanka chose to bat and were bundled out for 393. Sehwag started his innings in the only way he knows how to be fearless, he tore apart the bowling line up and broke several records during the course of his innings.
Viru ended the day on 284 and as we know a new day calls for a fresh start; the batsman has to focus and start over again but strange things can happen and that is exactly what happened. He was out caught and bowled to Muralitharan after adding just nine to his overnight score.
