Sachin Tendulkar Birthday Specials: Most memorable knocks in ODIs

#1 200* vs South Africa (2010)

Sachin played an incredible inning against the strong South African bowling line-up

The ODI series between South Africa and India in 2010 was much anticipated after hard-fought Test series between the two teams. India won the first ODI and took a lead of 1-0.

In the second ODI, Dhoni won the toss and opted to bat first. Sachin looked in sublime touch right from the start and played shots all over the park. He scored the century off 90 balls in the 28th over itself and looked in no mood to give it up easily.

Sachin continued plundering runs and brought up his 150 off 118 balls. Just when he crossed 175, everyone anticipated the much awaited double century. He then went past the world record of 194 in the 46th over.

Finally, in the 50th over, Sachin crossed the landmark of a double century as Ravi Shastri righty concluded in the commentary "Gets it. The first man on the planet to reach 200 and it's the Superman from India -Sachin Tendulkar 200 from 147. Take a bow master."
