Ahmedabad, February 26: Two days after Sachin Tendulkar made history in Gwalior, South African batsman AB de Villiers said it was an “unbelievable” batting display and no bowler in the world could have stopped the iconic Indian on Wednesday.
Tendulkar became the first batsman in one day cricket’s history to smash a double century in the match and his sublime unbeaten 200 off just 147 balls guided India to a series-clinching 153-run victory.
De Villiers, whose unbeaten 114 in the Gwalior match was reduced to a footnote, said Tendulkar was simply unstoppable.
“Sachin played an unbelievable knock…He didn’t do much wrong in the last game, I don’t think any bowler in the world could have tackled that,” said de Villiers.
Over all, de Villiers said, bowling to Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag was a learning experience for the South African bowlers.
