On 24 February 2010, the cricketing cosmos witnessed an epoch-defining moment as Sachin Tendulkar, the maestro of the willow, inscribed his name in history by becoming the first batsman to score a double century in One Day International (ODI) cricket.
Playing against South Africa in Gwalior, the "Little Master" unfurled an innings of sublime artistry, combining poise, precision, and an unrelenting appetite for runs.
His unbeaten 200 off 147 balls, adorned with 25 boundaries and three towering sixes, was a masterclass in batting, reaffirming his status as the sport’s ultimate luminary.
With this milestone, Tendulkar not only redefined the limits of ODI batting but also inspired a new generation to dream beyond the conceivable.
