The record-breaking Indian master blaster, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar made yet another record Wednesday when he scored the first-ever double century in the One-Day Internationals.
He made the record during the second ODI against South Africa at Gwalior.
Tendulkar made 200 from 149 deliveries to first break the world record of Pakistan’s Saeed Anwar and Zimbabwe’s Charles Coventry of 194 runs each and then embarked upon rewriting cricket record books as he completed the first ever double century in ODI cricket format from just 147 balls hitting 35 boundaries and 3 sixes.
Saeed Anwar made the record in 1997 when he scored 194 runs against India in Chennai, while Charles Coventry equalled the record last year when he scored 194* not out against Bangladesh in Bullawayo.
