Explanation

Sehwag scored his 22-ball half-century against New Zealand in Hamilton on March 11, 2009. This was indeed the second-fastest ODI 50 by an Indian at that time. The fastest was Yuvraj Singh's famous 12-ball 50 against England in the 2007 T20 World Cup (though T20, not ODI - the question's classification needs this distinction).
