Sachin is not the only one...

24th February 2010, on this very day all of India witnessed a very special moment in the history of one day cricket and when it comes to records who else can achieve it other than; APNA SACHIN. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar became first batsman in the world to score a double century in one day format....only days later we got to know that this has already been achieved by some Ms. Clarke, an Australian women cricketer and that too way back in 1997.
But are these the only players who have achieved this feat.. I beg to differ. And I have a very strong reason to do so.
I Mohd Suhaib Iqbal too have scored a double that too in a One Day Match, who cares if that match was played between me and my cousin. And trust me guys I did that in less than an hours innings and that too in 10 overs game.
But am I the only one. Your guess is as good as mine.. NO. In-fact am sure, every indian boy who has played cricket at his home,school, office or room will agree to me that there are thousands of tendulkars in India. Some has scored 200 in a book cricket game, some would have done this in a paper ball game and some players like me had done it in a more professional manner.
Moreover, its not only about Sachin, one can find people who would have taken more wickets than muralitharan and shane warne. I myself had picked up at-least 500 wickets in my career ranging over 10 years, though thats a different thing that I don't boast about it.
So next time when a player breaks a record or reaches a milestone or achieves an indistinguishable feat in Cricket, don't go mad about it, just look around and there would be a guy sitting next to you who would have achieved it decades ago and is humble enough to not even acknowledge it.
I have done it and so has others. Nothing great about it Mr.Tendulkar!!!
