Tendulkar breaks ODI record
Little Master hits 200 not out
India v South Africa
Tendulkar: ODI record
Sachin Tendulkar scored the first double century in one-day international history as India piled up 401-3 against South Africa in Gwalior.
Tendulkar contributed exactly 200 not out, surpassing the previous record score in the 50-over format of 194 jointly held by Pakistan's Saeed Anwar and Zimbabwean Charles Coventry.
The 36-year-old achieved the new landmark from the third ball of the 46 overs, clipping a couple off his hip from the bowling of Wayne Parnell.
And he went on to reach 200 in the final over of the innings, bowled by Charl Langeveldt, with a scrambled single to point.
What a fantastic achievment by the little man, surely one of, if not the greatest batsman of all time.
