Tendulkar's ODI 200 in Times magazine's top 10 sports moments

London, Dec 12 (PTI) Iconic Indian batsman Sachin
Tendulkar's record-breaking one-day International double
century has found a place in the Times magazine's top 10
sports moments of the year.
"Certain sports milestones seem simply unreachable: In
cricket, it's the one-day double-hundred: no man had ever
produced 200 runs for his team during a one-day international
match," 'The Times' said.
"In February, however, India's Sachin Tendulkar, the
greatest run scorer of all-time, hit the magic milestone
against a powerful South African squad.
"Tendulkar smacked three "sixes" — the cricket equivalent
of a home run — during his epic performance, and the build up
to 200 was exhilarating.
"When he reached 199, the home crowd in Gwalior waved
Indian flags, and roared, knowing they were about to witness
history. The diminutive Tendulkar, dubbed "The Little Master,"
slapped a single past the South African fielders. The world's
1.5 billion cricket fans had a moment they'd never forget," it
said. PTI ATK
