Sachin Tendulkar scored the first ever double century in a One Day International. The Gwalior one day also saw a few other records tumbling while Sachin was on his way to his record breaking knock. Robin Jackman said we could see a double from Sachin during the 28th over of the match when Sachin was on 104 and we did at the end of the innings. Watching the Indian Innings of 400 runs was like watching the highlights package. Some of the shots that Sachin played were mind boggling and there were anxious moments for all the fans and Sachin till he got to the double century because Dhoni played 21 off the last 30 deliveries. Sachin became the highest scorer in a ODI in the 45th over but he faced only 9 deliveries from overs 45-50 and finally he got to it in the 50th over. It was a moment to cherish for all the Indian cricket fans and Sachin fans across the world.
The most disappointing part was the crowd behavior around 37th over when some one from the crowd threw somthing @ a SA cricketer and its so sad Because India were playing well(well placed to score 350), Sachin was in ominous form and Pathan scoring runs @ quick pace not sure what prompted them to display such kinda behavior.
