The coverage of Sachin Tendulkar's record-breaking innings yesterday domintated the Indian newspapers

Openers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag have been rested for India’s final one-day international against South Africa, which will take place in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

India have already sealed victory in the three-match one-day series against South Africa with wins in the first two games in Jaipur and Gwalior.

Tendulkar, 36, smashed a world record 200 not out in Gwalior yesterday.

With Saturday’s game being a dead rubber, India’s selectors have decided to give fringe players some international experience.

The India selectors have picked top-order batsman Murali Vijay and have also called up uncapped fast bowler Abhimanyu Mithun in place of medium-pacer Praveen Kumar.

Batsman Rohit Sharma, who had missed the first Test in Nagpur due to an ankle injury on the morning of the first day, also returns to the team.

Selectors have also named a 30-man squad World Twenty20 in the Caribbean.

Squad for final ODI: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Murali Vijay, Dinesh Karthik, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja, Sudeep Tyagi, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, Ravichandran Ashwin, Amit Mishra, Abhimanyu Mithun, Ashish Nehra.
