NEW DELHI: It was on this day 12 years ago when Sachin Tendulkar became the “first man on the planet” to score a double century in one-day internationals.
Tendulkar achieved the feat against South Africa at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior. He played an unbeaten knock of 200 off just 147 balls with the help of 25 fours and 3 sixes.
This knock by Tendulkar helped India post 401/3 in the allotted fifty overs, and the MS Dhoni-led side defeated the Proteas by 153 runs.
Tendulkar, bid adieu to international cricket in 2013 and to date remains the highest run-scorer in both Tests and ODIs. He also holds the record for registering most international centuries, a hundred hundreds.
In 2019, Tendulkar became the sixth Indian to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.
The 46-year-old made his debut for India at the age of 16 and immediately became the country’s favorite cricketer. He aggregated 34,357 runs across formats, which is 6,000 runs ahead of the second-placed former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara.
There have been just eight scores of 200 by a batter in ODI cricket. India opener Rohit Sharma has scored an ODI double century thrice and also holds the record of registering the highest individual score in ODIs.
Rohit scored 264 runs off just 173 balls against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, in 2014.
Martin Guptill has the second-highest individual ODI score with this 237 against West Indies in the 2015 World Cup.
