New Delhi: The day of 24 February has proved to be very special for the two batsmen of world cricket. On this day, both India’s great batsman Sachin Tendulkar and West Indies explosive batsman Chris Gayle made headlines by scoring a double century in One Day International cricket.
Sachin-Gayle became Sultan of double century
Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar (Sachin Tendulkar) scored the first double century in men’s ODI International history 11 years ago on 24 February. Let us know that Sachin Tendulkar made this world record in One Day International cricket on 24 February 2010. Before him, many batsmen reached near the 200-run mark, but no batsman crossed this magical figure.
Gayle explodes after Sachin
After Sachin, Virender Sehwag scored 219 runs in 2011, while in 2013, Rohit Sharma scored 209 runs. At the same time, again in 2014, Rohit Sharma scored 264, which is the world record for the most runs in an innings. After this, Chris Gayle scored 215 against Zimbabwe in the World Cup on 24 February 2015.
#OnThisDay in 2010, @sachin_rt scored the first ever double-century in men’s ODI history.
The Little Master took just 147 balls to get there against South Africa.
Since then, there have been seven double-hundreds in the format. pic.twitter.com/hAvyVQZk5g

In the double century of Sachin Tendulkar and Chris Gayle, it was a strange coincidence that both of them did this great feat in ODI cricket on 24 February. On the same day, two men became double centuries. Please tell that Sachin is called the God of Cricket. He has scored 15,921 ODIs and 18,426 runs in Tests during his career. Sachin has 100 international centuries in all formats.
