He narrowly missed out on becoming the then youngest Test centurion
in Napier in February 1990, but Tendulkar finally gets it at 17 years
and 112 days. A wonderful rearguard innings at Old Trafford in August
1990 still remains one of his best
Tendulkar's first Test hundred in India also comes against England.
He hits 24 fours and one six in his 165 in Madras(Chennai) as India
go on to win by an innings and 22 runs
A fine Nelson: In November 1992, Tendulkar's 111in the second Test
against South Africain Johannesburg makes him the youngest batsman
to reach 1000 Test runs. His century comes in a first-innings total of 227
|
Captaincy goes, but Tendulkar the run-machine is at its
best in 1998. Two of his favourites - opponents Australia
and venue Chennai - come together, and the bowlers
pale into insignificance as his second-innings 155
turns a deficit into a match-winning total.
Later, a certain Mr. Shane Warne suffers from nightmares
At the same ground in 1999, the first sign his body is suffering.
In spite of a back injury, Tendulkar scores a masterful 136.
India, though, fall short by 16 runs against Pakistan,
and a poor fourth-innings record remains a blot in Tendulkar's CV
Even the Don takes note of Tendulkar's batting, and says the Indian
batsman's style resembles him the most among those from the modern era.
Tendulkar's tour of Australia in 1999-2000 - he's captain as well - is not in
keeping with high expectations, with a few rough decisions coming his way
He yet tops the batting charts for India. India's hopes fade whenever
he departs, and the captain cuts a lone figure as his team loses all
three Tests. He steps down from captaincy during South Africa's visit in 2000
Tendulkar makes 10 in both innings, but he picks up three wickets in the Australia's second innings as India win the epic Test at Eden
Gardens in 2001 to level the series
India and Tendulkar have an unsuccessful tour of New Zealand
in 2002-03. The team begins the 2003 World Cup in South Africa
under pressure; however, they make it to the final with Tendulkar the
Player of the Tournament
A workmanlike innings in Sydney during the 2003-04 Australia tour helps Tendulkar to his first double-century overseas. His unbeaten scores of 241
and 60 - in Steve Waugh's farewell Test - almost results in a series win
Another 10,000: During his 52 against Pakistan in the Kolkata Test in 2005,
Tendulkar becomes the first to score 10,000 runs in both Tests and ODIs
At home in Australia: The crowds are entertained as Tendulkar makes
two hundreds in the four-Test series in 2007-08. India lose 2-1,
but Tendulkar goes home a happy man, scoring 117 not out and 91 as
India beat Australia in the finals to clinch the tri-nation one-day tournament
Playing a Test in Pakistan after nearly 15 years, Tendulkar scores an
unbeaten 194 - a declaration denies him the double. However, it's Virender
Sehwag - who developed with Tendulkar as a role model - who steals
the show in Multan, becoming the first Indian triple-centurion
Captaincy comes calling, and Tendulkar leads India to a win in the one-off home
Test against Australia to bag the newly instituted Border-Gavaskar Trophy,
named after two players he would eventually join in the 10,000-run club
A special win: Tendulkar holds the trophy after India beat England 1-0
during their 2007 tour, his first series victory outside the subcontinent
Come Chennai and he's back to his best. Makes a hundred in
the first innings as India win a memorable series 2-1
Playing a Test in Pakistan after nearly 15 years, Tendulkar scores an
unbeaten 194 - a declaration denies him the double. However,
it's Virender Sehwag - who developed with Tendulkar as a role model -
who steals the show in Multan, becoming the first Indian triple-centurion
He's out stumped for the only time in his career, in Bangalore, but Tendulkar is still the best batsman on show and the Player of the Series as India win 1-0
As captain on the 1999-2000 tour of Australia, Sachin Tendulkar (17000+) and centuries (45).Highest Score - 186*. He belongs to the
group of rare sportsmen and his records might never be broken.
Sachin Tendulkar has also captained India for few years.
