Tendulkar 43overs 186(134) 50 overs 200(147) Last 13 balls made 14 runs Sehwag 43 overs 196(138) 46.3 overs 219 (149) Last 11 balls 23 runs Rohit Sharma 43 overs 134(133) 49.3 overs 209(158) Last 20 balls 67 runs Rohit Sharma 43 overs 174(142) 50 overs 264(173) Last 31 balls 90 runs Tendulkar's strike rate was barely 100 in the last 7 overs.. Dhoni went nuts in the end overs for India instead. It is in contrast with other three big knocks. Even Saeed Anwar went nuts only in the end overs.

Was he not dead tired at end ?
Nope . He was not. He hit a six , four.. and another four.. suddenly he started taking singles. It is not like his tiredness suddenly struck him at 186 :cantstop: Come on.. just saying.. he could have gotten a lot more . Secondly most of the tired guys will go for shot and get out..they won't want to stay there at the crease as long as possible. First ever 200.. so he was a bit cautious.

Tendulkar played against a better bowling attack, and without any chances. :hatsoff: And its testimony to his skill that he was already at 183 at 43 overs from just 136 balls without any sort of over the top slogging. Just masterful cricketing strokes all around. SA were completely deflated, and Dhoni administered the coup-de-grace. Sachin was too tired towards the end, aged 37 without any runners, and managed to give Dhoni, who was fresh and roaring brilliant support, just like how Uthappa gave Rohit support towards the end. A perfect ODI innings, chanceless, beautifully paced and resource effective. :hatsoff:

Viru was almost 200 by 43rd over :cantstop: ..Viru is opposite of selfish..
So Sachin is selfish despite scoring 186(134) (veeru scored 196 of 138) by 43rd over? Man how do you manage to take such Kejriwalisms so quickly?:hysterical:

Oh wait. On the contrary, he was dog tired, started suffering from cramps, and decided it is in best interest of the team if he did not waste many deliveries and started giving Dhoni, the fresh man at the crease, and in form, most of the strike.

He could not because he was looking to score his double by picking singles. If he had tried to hit boundaries, he might have had more strike. It was opposite to last ODI where set batsman was hitting boundaries and new batsman gave him strike. In SRT's case, it was just opposite. I am not saying it was wrong. Who would not have wanted a double in ODIs that too first ever.
