Sachin Tendulkar breaks ODI world record, hits first ever 200
February 24, 2010
Sachin Tendulkar became the first man ever to score double hundred in one-dayers. The former India captain reached the landmark with a single off Charl Langeveldt in the final over. India won the match by 153 runs to take a winning 2-0 lead in the series after bowling out the tourists for 248.
The 36-year-old hit 25 fours (a world record) and three sixes in a stunning 200 off 147 balls.
It passed the previous best of 194, set by Pakistan's Saeed Anwar in 1997 and Zimbabwe's Charles Coventry last year. Anwar made 194 against India in May 1997 while Coventry hit the same total not out against Bangladesh. His previous best one-day knock was the 186 not out scored against New Zealand in 1999.
Sachin now holds the record for most runs in tests (13,447), most runs in one-day internationals (17,598), most centuries in Tests (47) and most centuries in ODIs (46). He has played 166 Test matches with a batting average of 55.56. He has appeared in 442 One-day internationals, with a batting average of 45.12.

Sachin Tendulkar Completes 30,000 International Runs
Nov 20, 2009
Sachin Tendulkar became the first cricketer in the world to complete 30,000 international runs during his second innings 100 not out against Sri Lanka at Ahmedabad. Sachin completed 17,000 runs in ODIs two weeks back, and in test matches, nearing the 13,000 mark - both World records.
He already holds the World records for most centuries in test matches (43) and most centuries in ODIs (45), and half centuries in both versions of the game (144 each). He has also scored 125 centuries and 208 half centuries in domestic matches.
Sachin also has nearly 200 international wickets, and another 275 domestic wickets. Which by the way, are not World Records!
Tendulkar completed the magical 17,000-run mark in One-Day International cricket at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi against Australia, to reach another milestone in his glittering career. Sanath Jayasuriya is second on the list with 13,377 runs. Tendulkar's wait to reach the 17,000-run mark in One-dayers continued in Mohali as he missed the milestone by just seven runs after getting dismissed for 40 on a dubious decision in the fourth ODI against Australia.
Sachin went on to score his 45th ODI century off just 81 balls. He also has 91 ODI fifties under his belt.
