Cricket is never short of surprises, but this one takes the cake! The latest came from the game's rulebook that disallowed Indian opener Virender Sehwag a well-deserved century against Sri Lanka in the ODI tri-nation series here Monday.

Sehwag steered India to the 171-run victory target in 34.3 overs. But there was a sore point when Sehwag batting at 99 and India needing just one run for victory struck Suraj Randiv for a huge six over long-off and raised his bat in celebration, only to realise a moment later that it was a big no-ball from the off-spinner and his runs would not be counted.
