World Record: Sachin Tendulkar 200 Runs in ODI (India vs South Africa)
Sachin Tendulkar became the first man to score a double century in One Day Internationals. The great man’s unbeaten 200 off 147 balls helped India defeat South Africa by 153 runs in the second ODI at Gwalior on Wednesday, and gave the host an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Tendulkar’s innings surpassed the previous record for the highest score in ODIs — 194, which was set by Pakistan’s Saeed Anwar in 1997 and equalled by Zimbabwe’s Charles Coventry in 2009. Later, Tendulkar said he was dedicating this record to the people of India.
