Sachin Tendulkar's 200 win ODI world record as India crush South Africa

Sachin Tendulkar's 200 win ODI world record as India crush South Africa
Tendulkar was exactly 200 not out against South Africa in Gwailor breaking the previous highest score of 194 held jointly by Zimbabwean Charles Coventry and Pakistan’s Saeed Anwar.
It was Tendulkar’s 46th century in one-day cricket for India and continues a remarkable recent run of form for a player who, at the age of 36, is showing no sign of slowing down with hundreds in each of his last four Tests.

Tendulkar gave early warning of his intent with a 37-ball half century. He slowed down as he neared his hundred but picked up the pace again once past the mark, hitting Jacques Kallis for three fours in one over.
For South Africa, there was no repeat of the Johannesburg heroics when they chased 434 to beat Australia. AB De Villiers scored a hundred but they lost by 153 runs when they were bowled out for 248.
