Solution

Let the number of runs scored by Sehwag be $x$

Therefore, the number of runs scored by Dhoni is $2 x$

Given that together they scored two runs less than double century.

Therefore, $x + 2 x = 200 - 2$

$⟹ 3 x = 198$

$⟹ x = 66$

Therefore, the number of runs scored by Sehwag is $66$

and the number of runs scored by Dhoni is $2 \times 66 = 132$
