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.

MS Dhoni happy with the Indian Bowlers’ Performance against England

Uz played an unbelievable knock to get us into that position. And we probably looked at getting too many, it wasn’t a 160 wicket and sometimes when you do that, you fall well short and that happened to us. But hopefully we will learn from that but it was a fantastic effort from the bowlers to restrict like that. We knew the new ball was going to be crucial and from there on in, it’s always difficult to score in that middle period, especially with our spinners operating. And we are used to those types of conditions as we get them in Kolkata.”
