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.

sachin is definitely the best batsman of my lifetime. and the best one day batsman of all time (ODI history not stretching so far back). ponting and lara are sometimes mentioned in same breath but tendlya is something else.

200 in a ODI is incredible. he also holds the records for Test runs and ODI runs. and he's on 93 international tons in all formats, will get a century of centuries in his career.

football by its nature just doesn't produce players as good as sachin
