Sachin Tendulkar breaks record for the highest score in one-day internationals

Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman to make a double hundred in one-day internationals today, as he bludgeoned 200 off 147 balls against South Africa in the second one-day international in Gwalior.

The Indian batsman, know as the "Little Master", passed the previous highest score for a one-day innings of 194, held jointly by Saeed Anwar of Pakistan and Charles Coventry of Zimbabwe, in the 46th over as India headed for a massive score, but it took him four more overs to reach his landmark, with Mahendra Singh Dhoni, his captain, taking most of the strike.

Dhoni hit four sixes and seven fours in a thrilling cameo, making 68 off 35 balls, and if it had not been for a splendid diving stop on the boundary by Hashim Amla to deny a four off the second ball of the last over, Dhoni may have kept Tendulkar waiting even longer. Tendulkar, who was suffering from cramp during an innings of more than three and a half hours, took a single off the third ball to reach 200.

Dhoni then drove the final ball of the over, from Charles Langeveldt, down the ground for four to take India to 401 for four, the sixth highest total in one-day internationals and the most made in Gwalior by more than 100 runs.

South Africa may have been pleased with the way they started the game, dismissing Virender Sehwag, always a danger man, for nine in the fourth over, but Tendulkar is in the form of his life, 20 years after the start of his international career.

It is the fifth international hundred of the year for Tendulkar, to go with four hundreds in Tests against South Africa and Bangladesh. He now has 93 hundreds in international cricket. His previous best in one-day internationals was 186 against New Zealand in 1999.

India won the first match in the one-day series by one run on Sunday as South Africa came up short in their pursuit of 299 to win in Jaipur.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Sachin Tendulkas has done it again. This time he has made the highest score in an ODI. 201 Not Out. The legend lives on!

Congrats to the Little Master. I'm glad i was able to watch the whole innings. Thought it was touch and go at the end there when Dhoni was taking most of the strike.

I could tell he was going to get a big one today from seeing his footwork early on.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
