Sachin Tendulkar is the god of cricket and no one can match him. The 36-year-old bludgeoned 25 fours and three sixes in his fearless knock as India reached an astonishing 401 for the cost of three wickets from their 50 overs. The previous highest score in an ODI was 194 not out, compiled by Charles Coventry for Zimbabwe against Bangladesh last year, and by Pakistan's Saeed Anwar against India back in 1997, and Tendulkar passed that mark in the 46th over before he set about reaching his 200. Tendulkar, whose previous best score in a limited-overs match was his unbeaten 186 against New Zealand in 1999, is already the leading run-scorer in Test and ODI cricket and was playing in his 442nd one-day international.
He faced 147 balls and hit three sixes and 25 fours and has now made 46 one-day centuries to go with 47 in Tests and needs just seven more to complete a hundred hundreds. Tendulkar said: "I'd like to dedicate this innings to the people of India who have supported me in my career for the past 20 years. "I was striking and timing it well but it wasn't until I got past 175 with a few overs remaining I started to think the 200 was on."
