Cricket fraternity hailed Sachin Tendulkar for becoming the first batsman in the history of one-day cricket to smash a double century, describing the feat as an incredible achievement.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar led the tribute, saying Tendulkar has established himself as the greatest batsman ever.
"There is just no question about that. He is the greatest batsman the game has ever seen," Gavaskar gushed.
"See his record! Who else has got 90-plus centuries, 17000-plus runs in ODIs and 13000-plus runs in Test cricket? He is comfortably the greatest batsman ever," said Gavaskar.
Spin legend Shane Warne, who enjoyed many a duel with Tendulkar, followed the innings and kept posting on his Twitter page, egging the Indian to achieve the milestone.
"(I'm) nervous for my good friend Sachin," Warne posted as Tendulkar approached 200.
"Come on Sachin my friend get your 200. World record to please! you deserve it," he said.
Once Tendulkar reached the milestone, the former player posted "Yes, yes, yes! Well done Sachin my friend. Congrats and well done!
