Sachin Tendulkar created history by slamming the first double hundred in a one day international against South Africa at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior today. The master at almost 37 age, who has been ruling the game of cricket for over two decades, has become the first batsman in the history of ODI cricket to hit a double hundred. Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar added another feather to his cap. In this match against South Africa, Sachin has scored 200* (notout) there were 25 fours and 3 sixes. He made this run at a strike rate of 136.05. India scored 401/3.
He became the highest run-scorer in the history of Test cricket today, eclipsing Brian Lara's record during India's match against Australia. The batsman, accorded demi-god status in his country, required 15 runs to pass Lara's total of 11,953 and he finally got there with a push to third man for three off the bowling of Peter Siddle to send the home supporters into raptures. He was eventually dismissed for 88 as India fought back in the afternoon of the second Test.
