200 N/O

The cricket website crickinfo reports " .. It took nearly 40 years of waiting and it was well worth it. Sachin Tendulkar chose one of the better bowling attacks doing the rounds, to eclipse the record for the highest score, before bringing up the first double-hundred in ODI history. The spectators at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium became the envy of cricket fans as they witnessed one of the country's favourite sporting heroes play a breathtaking innings which not only set up a 153-run annihilation but also the series victory."  

Yes !  It is once again Sachin Tendulkar creating a history by a scoring the first ever double century in the One Day Cricket.

Even if you are not a great follower of cricket, you can't escape the influence of this person. Watching him play is a joy and inspiration to millions of Indians.

I remember one particular incident; I think it is almost a decade ago, during world cup he lost his beloved father and he had rushed to India to attend the funeral. He missed one match in which India lost. Next match he was there and scored a century and dedicated it to his father. What a way pay tribute!

Like any other sports person when he was in his lean period, media wrote about his performance he did not say anything rather he showed it on the ground.

That is SACHIN TENDULKAR.
