5 astonishing cricket milestones achieved in Madhya Pradesh

#2 India vs South Africa, 2010 – Sachin’s 200*

200 wasn’t a pipe-dream for Sachin

We were all waiting for it. Watching Sachin score a double hundred in an ODI game was a dream come true for many. After all, he is the format’s greatest ever exponent. The 175 against Australia and 163* against New Zealand were signs that the monumental achievement was around the corner.

And when it finally happened, it happened on the soil of Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. The master blaster scored almost half the team’s runs by smashing an unbeaten 200 from 147 balls as India beat South Africa by 153 runs.

Sachin’s bat was the medium that wreaked havoc as the little master created history by becoming the first ever batsman to cross the double century mark in limited overs cricket.
