3. Sachin Tendulkar (147 balls)

Paving the way and showing everyone that double hundred in an ODI is not impossible, Sachin Tendulkar’s knock can be considered the one of the best (if not the best) among all the double hundreds as he managed it against a world-class bowling unit of South Africa.
The master has scored 25 boundaries and 3 sixes in his innings as he remained not out as India piled up 401by the end of their innings.
