Sachin Tendulkar has become the first-ever batsman to score 200 in an ODI (one-day international) against South Africa. Sachin's score officially makes him the Michael Jordan of cricket after the India vs RSA match.

The former highest-scoring batsmen were Zimbabwe's Charles Coventry with 194 not out in a one-day match, and Pakistan's Saeed Anwar with 194 .

Sachin Tendulkar, who plays for India, scored 200 not out in today's game against South Africa, beating his own personal best of 186 not out.

Current ODI batting records:

200 not out: Sachin Tendulkar, India
194 not out: Charles Coventry, Zimbabwe
194: Saeed Anwar, Pakistan
189 not out: Viv Richards, West Indies
189: Sanath Jayasuriya, Sri Lanka
188 not out:Gary Kirsten, South Africa

It is the fifth international hundred of the year for Tendulkar, to go with four hundreds in Tests against South Africa and Bangladesh. He now has 93 hundreds in international cricket. His previous best in one-day internationals was 186 against New Zealand in 1999.

since childhood i have had sporting heros they have been from all sports my favourite sport is football.... saying that cricket is not a sport to me its religon and 1 billion indians feel the same way and sachin is the god of that religion. he not only is the best batsmen to have graced the game but with no spec of doubt the greatest sportsman that has lived. Ability,Conduct on and off the pitch is why he is revered by billions.
