Asked whether he too joined him in singing, Raina said “No, I was only on 30 at that time. So, I did not.”
Sehwag’s 219 had 25 boundaries and seven sixes as he smashed the West Indian bowlers all over the park to help India post a mammoth 418 for five in 50 overs.
In the process, Sehwag overtook Sachin Tendulkar’s 200 not out made against South Africa.
Apart Raina, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and BCCI’s selection committee chairman Kris Srikkanth was also present at the Youth Summit.
