After his hundred, Sehwag was seen ambling while running between the wickets. Soon his discomfort had to be addressed and Gautam Gambhir had to be brought in as a substitute runner. (AFP Photo)

Everything seemed to be going India's way until calamity struck. A good piece of fielding from Bangladesh Shakib Al Hasan meant that Sehwag and Sachin were stranded at the same end.

As a result Sachin was run out and Bangladesh enjoyed their first success in the World Cup. (AFP Photo)
