Sachin Tendulkar: Unstoppable Phenom of Cricket [200* of 147 Balls]
Author: cricketoholic
SACHIN TENDULKAR yesterday became the first man to score a one-day international DOUBLE ton. The little master from Mumbai smashed 200 not out in Gwalior against South Africa. And he is now closing in on an even more remarkable milestone — 100 centuries for India. Tendulkar, 36, overhauled the previous record of 194, held jointly by Pakistan’s Saeed Anwar and Charles Coventry of Zimbabwe. He faced 147 balls and hit three sixes and 25 fours and has now made 46 one-day centuries to go with 47 in Tests and needs just seven more to complete a hundred hundreds. Tendulkar said: “I’d like to dedicate this innings to the people of India who have supported me in my career for the past 20 years. “I was striking and timing it well but it wasn’t until I got past 175 with a few overs remaining I started to think the 200 was on.” India rattled up an enormous 401-3 in 50 overs before the Proteas crumbled to defeat by 153 runs despite a century by AB deVilliers.
