Achieving the Impossible : Sachin Tendulkar
24th of Feb 2010 at Gwalior vs South Africa , India was taking on against
the best bowling attack of the world , who might have thought that a new world
record was about to be created in Gwalior.
If you remember only two players before that day scored
194 runs in ODI cricket one was Pakistan’s Saeed Anwar in 1997 and other was Zimbabwe’s Charles
Conventry in 2009.
But the little master had some other plans that day, he played
his normal game and kept on playing till he passed his previous best of
186.Then suddenly people started expecting that will the master blaster do what
no other player could achieve in ODI and certainly Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar ended
his innings by scoring first ever double century in ODI history.
Four batsmen have gone past 200 in ODIs after
Sachin. Virender Sehwag, Martin Guptill, Rohit Sharma (twice), and Chris Gayle but
one will never forget the first ever 200 in ODI.
Maybe this was the ODI where other players started believing that 200 was even possible in limited over cricket.
