Chris Gayle And Marlon Samuels Just Made Cricket History

    Gayle scored the fastest double century ever and, along with Samuels, notched up the highest ODI partnership of all time.

    West Indies batsman/real life Hulk Chris Gayle just became the first cricketer to score a double century in the World Cup.

    Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels also destroyed the World Record for the highest ODI partnership.

    The record breaking innings didn't start off quite as planned, as West Indies lost their first wicket with no runs on the board.

    But that's where the party ended for Zimbabwe's bowling attack.

    Although Gayle got out off the last ball of the innings, the damage had already been done.

    Marlon Samuels also joined in the party, contributing a patient 133 off 156 balls to keep the scoreboard ticking.

    Speaking of Sachin Tendulkar, the citizens of the internet were quick to point out this amazing coincidence.

    What a coincidence . . . Feb 24,2010 now Feb 24,2015. . #Gayle @henrygayle Cyclone.

    In fact, some of the Indians were so impressed with Gayle's performance, that they accepted him as one of their own.

    He's an honorary Indian, isn't he? #gayle #cwc2015 #wivzim #samuels

    Some of them made the most of a good photo op.

    Some other wary Indians tried to calm Gayle down before the upcoming clash with India on March 6th.
