Sachin Tendulkar has become the first cricketer to score double century in One Day Internationals Cricket. Tendulkar has beaten previous records of Saeed Anwar(194 runsagainst India in 1997) and Charles Coventry of Zimbabwe (194 not out against Bangladesh in 1999).

The master crossed the previous highest individual score made by Pakistan's Saeed Anwar (194 against India in 1997) and Charles Coventry of Zimbabwe (194 not out against Bangladesh in 1999). Tendulkar started his innings aggressively and made a quick-fire 37-ball fifty before finally completing his century in 90 balls

Sachin extended his lead for the record of most number of centuries to 17 as Ricky Ponting lies in the second place with 29 centuries. Tendulkar continued his record breaking form as he had slammed his 46th Test ton in the final match of the longer version of the game against the Proteas earlier.

The world's best batsman's double century came when he ran a single off Langeveldt against South Africa in the second one-dayer of the ongoing three-match series, at  at Captain Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior on Wednesday.  Tendulkar's 200 came off 147 balls, with 25 fours and 3 sixes.  By the way, this is Sachin Tendulkar's 93 International Hundred.

One of Sachin's records is when he broke Australia's Allan Border to become the player to cross the 50-run mark the most number of times in Test cricket history, and also the second ever player to score 10 Test centuries against Australia, after only Sir Jack Hobbs of England more than 70 years previously

Besides this, the scintiallating batsman has many more records to boost his status as the world's best ever cricketer. His die-hard spirit, determination and his ability to keep a cool demeanor in the most trying circumstances in the game has made him a favorite of billions. Sachin Tendulkar is truly the God of cricket
