Sachin Tendulkar reached another pinnacle yesterday, by becoming the first batsman to make 200 runs in an ODI. This great performance by ‘The little master’ led to an outburst of joy on Twitter, where Sachin Tendulkar is a trending topic even a day later.

And as always with Tendulkar, references to God are never far away. A short selection of the many confessions of faith I found on Twitter:

Reducing the number of atheists in India since 1989 – Sachin Tendulkar!

I finally know what godreally looks like!! He is about 5″5, maharashtrian and plays cricket!!

I do believe in God. Has anyone ever seen a mortal hit 200 runs in ODI?

GOD is an understatement for SACHIN TENDULKAR..

Tendulkar is GOD..

What’s the difference between God n Sachin Tendulkar??? Godcould neva bat like Sachin…. Hats off!!!
