History

Historical Context

In October 2010, Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman to hit a 200-run innings in a One-Day International, scoring 200 not out against South Africa at Gwalior. His record broke the previous ODI high of 194 runs shared by Pakistan’s Saeed Anwar and Zimbabwe’s Charles Coventry and marked a shift toward ever larger scores in limited-overs cricket.
