Yuvraj Singh marked his return to form with a swashbuckling unbeaten 138 as India recorded its biggest victory by runs against England by spanking the hapless visitors by 158 runs in the series-opening cricket one-dayer in Rajkot on Friday.

After rattling up a record total of 387 for five at home, the hosts then bundled out England for 229 in 37.4 overs in a lop-sided contest to take a 1-0 lead in the seven-match series.

India's previous best victory margin by runs against England was 86 at Sydney in 1985 and their biggest margin is 257 runs against Bermuda at Port of Spain in 2007.

Yuvraj's ninth ODI hundred spurred India to post its second-highest ODI total ever -- well behind their 413-5 against Bermuda in the 2007 World Cup but ahead of its previous home record of 376-2 against New Zealand in 1999.

Clobbered by the in-form Indian bastmen, the English attack conceded more runs than ever in one-dayers, surpassing the 353-6 against Pakistan at Karachi in 2005. India's highest previous total against England was 329-7 at Bristol in August 2007.

Yuvraj defied a troublesome back to roar back into form in great style as he plundered runs at will, belting as many as 16 boundaries and six sixes during his 78-ball massacre.

The dashing Virender Sehwag (85), Gautam Gambhir (51), Suresh Raina (43) and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (39) were the other notable performers after England captain Kevin Pietersen put India in to bat on a belter of a track at the Madhavrao Scindia stadium.

Me Marathi..Maharashtra MajhaaBy: Pakya Manjarekar | 14-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward We are first Marathi and last Indian. We must care for our region and language first and country last. Every Indian must speak Marathi. We are the followers of Raja Saheb Raj Thackeray. We have proved that Raj Thackeray can not be arrested by any government and he is above the law.

Ask for a new country By: aban | 14-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward If you are so touchy abt the mahrashtra thing...ask for a new country you morons...

Me MarathiBy: Sadya Tendulekar | 14-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward That is absolutely right. No body can dare touch Raja Saheb Raj Thackrey no matter what he does. Even Spreme court are fearful of him.

Hindi speaking North Indian Players ZindabaadBy: Mrs Bhanumati | 14-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Yuvraj, Gautam, Sewag, and Raina all are Hindi Speaking North Indians. It proves that we Hindi Speaking people are far ahead of anti-national and Marathi traitors followers of Raj Thackeray. Raj Thackeray has cut the cake by sword written on it "Bhaiyyaa" and still roaming scott-free. Maharashtra police is worse than Kashmiri police in siding with locals. Regionalistic and linguistic terrorism will haunt India and break it shortly.

Raj Thackerey's anti-national marathis of BhanumatjiBy: Col(ret)Rajendra Aggarwala,Univ Faculty, USA(ret) | 14-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward You are doing no better by your writing Mrs Bhanumatiji. The conspiracy of silence against Raj Thackerey's crimes comes from Sonia Gandhi's government at the center, and the Congress/NCP government in Maharashtra is only doing their bid; else the state government should have been long dismissed. UPA, under Sonia's heels is bent upon dividing the country on caste, regional, linguistic and communal grounds. Can't you see it in all her actions even now, or you will see it only after India is slipped under foreign control through the machinations of this government at the center?

Raj Thackerey's Marathi traitorsBy: Col(ret)Rajendra Aggarwala,Univ Faculty,USA(ret) | 14-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Your writing is doing no better. The real conspiracy of silence and encouragement of Raj is from sonia Gandhi's Central government, who is hell bent on dividing the country on caste, regional, linguistic, and communal grounds. Congress and NCP of Maharashtra is just a slave stae government colluding in the game. This government should have been dismissed otherwise by now. Learn the filthy politics of this foreign lady who has no love for India. She particularly hates Hindus! Can't you see that, or you will only see it after India is lost to foreign rule again?

Hindi speaking North Indian Players ZindabaadBy: Rajendra Patel | 14-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Are you married to Maharastrian??? You envy maharastrian like in-laws. Why are you bringing your seperatist thoughts in the Game. ENJOY IT. Who ever play well he is an INDIAN. Don't be stupid like a moron.
