Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar smashed a world record double hundred against South Africa in the second ODI in the Captain Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior.  The ‘Little Master’ surpassed the previous record held by Zimbabwe’s Charles Coventry which stood at 194, by posting an unbeaten 200 runs. 

The Indian became the first player in the game’s history to score a double hundred and the feat came off just 147 balls.

Tendulkar’s phenomenal innings helped India post an impressive 401 from their 50 overs, and he was ably supported by Dinesh Karthik (79) and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (68 not out).
