Mumbai: Maharashtra Government would
recommend the Centre to felicitate master blaster Sachin
Tendulkar for becoming the first player to score a double
century in one day internationals.
"Considering the record by Sachin Tendulkar, we would
recommend the Centre to felicitate him," Minority Welfare
Minister Naseem Khan informed the Legislative Council today.
Congress MLC Sanjay Dutt demanded that Sachin be
felicitated by the Centre.
Tendulkar scored an unbeaten 200 off 147 balls in the
second ODI against South Africa at Gwalior on February 24.
Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has
already decided to honour the 37-year-old legend, who was
born in the city, following a demand from corporators.
