In the 46th over, Tendulkar, on 193, broke the world record for the highest ODI score with a flick past short fine-leg. He ran two to surpass Zimbabwe's Charles Coventry and Pakistan's Saeed Anwar, and to say that he modestly acknowledged his feat would be an understatement. He didn't raise his bat, and just merely shook hands with Mark Boucher and simply carried on batting amidst the din. Coming from a man who is not known to showing too much emotion with the bat in hand, it wasn't surprising. He reserved his celebrations for the magic figure of 200, which he reached in the final over with a squirt off Charl Langeveldt past backward point. He raised his bat, took off his helmet and looked up at the skies and it was only fitting that one-day cricket's highest run-getter reached the landmark.
