Explanation

Charles Coventry scored 194* for Zimbabwe against Bangladesh in 2009, which at that time equaled the record for highest individual ODI innings (held by Pakistan's Saeed Anwar with 194). The phrasing 'the other batsman' refers to Coventry being the second person to achieve this score. Gary Kirsten held the record earlier (188*), Sanath Jayasuriya's best was 189, and Viv Richards' highest was 189*. The record has since been broken multiple times (Tendulkar 200*, Guptill 237*, Rohit Sharma 264).
