Tendulkar 200 knock

It was also on February 24 co-incidentally that Sachin Tendulkar created history by scoring men’s ODI cricket’s first 200, thereby making netizens nostalgic on Twitter. Tendulkar scored an epic double-century off 147 balls in Gwalior against a strong South African team. As a result of this landmark, Tendulkar cemented his legacy as the best batsman in world cricket.

Only seven other men's batsmen have been able to achieve this feat after Tendulkar's masterclass. Rohit Sharma has created a history of his own by becoming the only batsman to score a double-century thrice. The list of double-centurions is completed by Virender Sehwag, Chris Gayle, Martin Guptill and Fakhar Zaman, each scoring one.
