It has been a day of records for the Indian cricket team as they put behind them their upset World Cup loss to Bangladesh at the weekend.
A century from Virender Sehwag steered India to a record World Cup total of 413 for 5, before they bowled debutants Bermuda out for 156 resulting in the biggest ever one-day victory margin of 257 runs.
India swept past Sri Lanka's previous highest total of 398 for 5, made against Kenya in 1996.
They eclipsed Australia's previous one-day record victory margin of 256 runs, achieved against Namibia in the 2003 World Cup.
The 1983 champions still need to beat a formidable Sri Lankan side convincingly in their third and final group game at the weekend to be in contention for the Super Eight stage if three teams tie on points.
