Today marks the 51st birthday of cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar. Revered as the ‘God’ of cricket, Tendulkar’s influence transcends generations even after retiring from the sport 11 years ago. With an illustrious career adorned with accolades like the Khel Ratna and Bharat Ratna, and holding nearly every batting record imaginable, Tendulkar’s legacy remains unparalleled.
As we commemorate Sachin’s birthday, let’s revisit one of his most unforgettable innings, played exactly 26 years ago on his 25th birthday.
In the 1998 Coca Cola Cup Trophy, Tendulkar showcased his supreme form against Australia. Despite hammering a sensational 143 runs in 131 balls, his effort couldn’t secure a victory for India. However, this innings, played amidst the infamous desert storm interruption, remains etched in cricketing history as one of Tendulkar’s finest despite the loss.
