There were times when questions and criticism were leveled at Sachin for not playing well because of his health problems. But yesterday, Sachin proved all of them wrong by scoring a double century in ODI.

ONCE AGAIN Sachin Tendulkar has proved that he is the ‘Best of cricket’ as he scored his first ever double century and set a world record in One Day International (ODI) at Gwalior, India on Wednesday. Indian cricket team won over South Africa by 153 runs and made the country proud.

Sachin Tendulkar has again proved that he is not only the best batsman but also a great player. There were times when questions and criticism were leveled at Sachin for not playing well in cricket because of his health problems.

But yesterday, Sachin proved all of them wrong by scoring a double century in ODI. “Sachin set the world record” is all that is heard everywhere since yesterday and though I am not a big cricket fan, yet I am enjoying the country’s success in the world of cricket.

According to me there is no comparison between Sachin Tendulkar and other great Indian cricketers. There is no doubt in saying that India is blessed with great cricket champions, who have achieved tremendous success and popularity till date and have a huge fan following. But Sachin Tendulkar is just the best. I’ll say after Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar is the only player who can make the impossible possible in the world of cricket.

Everybody enjoys watching cricket from kids to adults; I sometimes wonder what is so special about this game? As there are so many other games like hockey, football, chess, tennis etc. and I was amazed when a small kid told me that it’s Sachin Tendulkar who makes the game worth watching. Well, I must say it’s the time to celebrate, especially for Sachin’s fans and cricket lovers.

Hi Ritika, I am completely agree with you. Sachin Tendulkar has become the first cricketer to hit a double-hundred in a one-day international, 10 months after his 36th birthday and four years after being booed off his home ground with his career apparently in decline. Somewhat improbably given today??????s innings, the abuse was for slow scoring. Under Gwalior??????s floodlights Tendulkar ended unbeaten on exactly 200 in the second one-day international against South Africa, after 147 balls of beautiful destruction. he relied on finesse as much as force, hitting only three sixes as India reached 401 for three in 50 overs According to the details, the record was made on Wednesday??????s ODI against South Africa. India decided to bat first after its captain, skipper Dhoni, won the toss. Dhoni made this decision to make the best use of the wicket and the pitch, and it seems they took a very good advantage of it as one of the team??????s finest players, Sachin Tendulkar, made the highest personal ODI score. It was surely an amazing match to watch. the players kept a good grip over the bowlers of the rival team and made a huge score 401 over three wickets. South Africa is now batting. but clearly the ball is in India??????s court today. Not that their players made good total which is very difficult to chase for South Africa but also set the record by making the highest ODI score and breaking all previous records. His century against the South Africans in 2nd ODI match came almost in 100 balls and it was a tribute to the skills and guile of the master blaster. After completing his century, Tendulkar did not relax and kept firing with all cylinders. There was pin drop silence on the ground as Tendulkar was near the double century with the crowd waiting with bated breath for him to complete the first double century in one day cricket, a feat unachieved in the the game.
