The name Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar echoed not only in Gwalior’s Major Roop Singh Stadium but also throughout the country as he smashed a double century against South Africa in an ODI. Tendulkar became the first ever batsman in the history of cricket to score double century and it was befitting that it was Tendulkar who did it before anyone else!
