Sachin Tendulkar has been nominated for the best ODI batsman in 2010 at the ESPNCricinfo Awards, for scoring one-day cricket's first-ever double hundred.
Tendulkar, who had scored an unbeaten 200 against South Africa in Gwalior on February 24, will be competing with compatriots Virender Sehwag and young Virat Kohli apart from seven other players.
India's ever reliable VVS Laxman has earned the nomination for the best Test batsman and out of a total of 10 nominations, the stylish Hyderabadi features in three.
His fantastic knocks -- 73 not out against Australia in Mohali, 103 not out against Sri Lanka in Colombo and 96 against South Africa in Durban -- make him one of the favourites for the award.
Sehwag has also been nominated in this category for his fighting 109-run knock against Sri Lanka in the first Test at Galle.
