Sachin Tendulkar is not only breaking records on the field of cricket, but also doing so online as well. 24 February, the day when Sachin Tendulkar made history by scoring the first ever double century in ODI history, atleast two of cricinfo servers were crashed due to heavy traffic. It was recorded that 45 million page views were made that day, and highest number of cricinfo unique users in India and the United States as well. It clearly shows that Tendulkar is the world’s most adored person in the cricketing world. His profile page is the most visited player page on the site and in any given month, headlines (often more than once) featuring his name are among the top 10 on the site has become a very common thing now.
Cricinfo claims that they make serious contingency plans for peak moments, but when Tendulkar stood just a couple of runs away from making history of first double ton, many of the fans logged into cricinfo simultaneously from all around the world, but specially from India and USA. The way Tendulkar takes his game and the way cricket lovers respond to his feats, cricinfo has to purchase some “Tendulkar Servers” for future.
Tendulkar, who is nearing 37 years of age, is still young at his game. TENdulkar has scored 10 centuries in the last 12 months in international cricket, including three of his four highest ODI hundreds, and the first double-century in 2962 one-day internationals. His last eight innings in all international cricket read as follows: 105*, 16, 143, 7, 100, 106, 4, 200*
