First Double Hundred
The first double hundred in ODI was scored by none other than the God of cricket. Sachin Tendulkar scored a brilliant 200 not out in 150 deliveries against South Africa in 2010. He started a decade that will bring lots of success to the Indian cricket team.
Sachin faced bowlers like Jacques Kallis and Morne Morkel to score his double century. He brought India out of a slump to help them reach a respectable score and ultimately win the match.
