Sachin Tendulkar: First Man @ 200 in ODI

Simply the Best!

The King of batting has already showed us all - why he is the greatest batsman India has ever produced many times over in the last two decades. But today, he achieved what NO man has ever done before - Score a double-ton in a one-day international cricket match. The next best was by a Saeed Anwar who had cheated his way to 194 runs by using a far younger runner very early on in that inning. Besides, Saeed Anwar is hardly a guy any one even remembers, leave aside even using his name in the same sentence as Don Bradman!

Today was clearly Sachin's day, and he so beautifully gave it back to every cricket fan (big, small or marginal ones like me).

Congratulations Sachin - You are a hero, in a nation so devoid of them.
