Rajneesh Gupta | March 29, 2005 18:59 IST

Indian opener Virender Sehwag [Images], who scored 201 in the first innings of the third and final Test against Pakistan in Bangalore, joined a unique club of players who scored a double-century but ended up on the losing side.

West Indies [Images] batting ace Brian Lara [Images] is the only player to have done it twice, while Sehwag is the first Indian to perform this feat.
