On 18th Jun 1983, at Turnbridge Wells, with India reeling at 17/5, in walked Kapil Dev – scored the first century for India in ODI, an epic 175* .. ..we had to wait for more than an year, as Ravi Shastri made the 2nd ton playing against Australia at Indore in Oct 1984, Dilip Vengsarkar made 105 against England at Pune in Dec 1984; Shastri made another at Cuttack and then Krish Srikkanth made a flamboyant102 off 104 balls against Australia at Jaipur in Sept 1986; a month later Raman Lamba made one at Rajkot. Will also remember Feb 24, 2010 at Capt Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior – ODI against South Africa. Sachin Tendlulkar 36 at that time and some critics had even started talking about his retirement, opened with Virender Sehwag, had close to 200 partnership with Dinesh Karthik – saw MS Dhoni annihilate68* of 37 balls – all that was to be eclipsed by the little master.It was nearly 4 decades since the 1st ever ODI – there have been weaker attacks – but no batsman had ever scored a 200 in an ODI [that used to be a standard Quiz Q – who is the only player to have scored double century in ODI ??] – Sachin made a brilliant 200* eclipsing many records and SA bruised badly with 153 run annihiliation.
