Imagine ... a double century! The first ever in the 50-over form of the game. And who else but Sachin Tendulkar to achieve it? Reaching his double century at Gwalior tonight against South Africa, Sachin, with his bat in one hand and his helmet in the other, stretches his arms towards the heavens, giving thanks. 200 runs not out, in India's first innings score of 3 for 401, with batting partner Dhoni scoring 64. The double century was scored with a single run off the third ball in the last over, from a Dale Steyn delivery. During the game Sachin hit 25 boundaries and 3 sixes. Embodying magnificence itself!
Almost impossible to get through to cricinfo to see the victory .... meltdown from worldwide acclaim.
