On This Day: Today we embark on a journey of a player who’s been an inspirational for all cricketing fans across the continents, even star players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni got inspired by him. The player is none other than is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.
Sachin Tendulkar was a sensational batter of his era and played against some top quality bowlers which gave him the title of “GOD OF CRICKET”.
Double Century Milestone
But the tag of “GOD OF CRICKET” was justified when he claimed an impossible record back then and it was a “double hundred”.
Sachin was the first player to score a double-century in men’s ODI. He achieved this feat against South Africa in Gwalior on February 24, 2010.
Sachin scored an unbeaten 200 runs off 147 balls which included 25 fours and 3 sixes.
How Old were You When 37 yr Sachin proved Nothing is Impossible.
