The Desert Blitzkrieg

Year: 1998

Venue: Sharjah

Opponents: Australia, Shane Warne

Occasion: Finals of the Coca Cola Cup

Situation: Australia scored a mammoth 272 in 50 overs. India need 273 to win. 

Sachin Tendulkar played an inspired innings of 134 out of 131 balls to lead his team to victory with 9 balls to spare. Australia were the best team in the world with probably the best spinner of all times Shane Warne leading their attack.

Tendulkar's savage counter attack is still one of the best One Day innings ever played. The savage counter attack, the classic drives and utter no respect for Warne characterized this innings from the little master. Damien Fleming and Michael Kasprowicz were treated as street bowlers and Sachin's dominance was evident from their continuous sledging and talking.

Stats: 134 runs, 131 balls, 12 fours and 3 sixes.

Enjoy !!

The Pakistan Slayer

Year: 1998

Venue: Sharjah

Opponents: Pakistan

Occasion: Group stage of the World Cup

Situation: Pakistan scored a solid 273 in 50 overs. India need 274 to win to ensure qualification, almost end Pakistan's challenge and win agaainst their bitter rivals for the 4th consecutive time in a World Cup. 

Probably the greatest One Day innings played by Tendulkar. An innings totally decimated the Pakistani attack comprising of Akram, Waqar and Shoaib, Pakistan's greatest sppedster of the past decade. An innings which was flawless, though not chanceless as the great man was dropped by Razzaq. An innings which saw Shoiab Akhtar being hit for a six over third man, an over where he conceded 17 runs and was removed from the attack. An innings where Waqar Younis was treated with contempt. An innings where gentle pushes down the round went all the way to the rope. An innings of supremacy which resulted in frequent bolwing changes. The score of 98 in 75 balls suggest a T20ish innings but it was an innings of class, poise, finesse, innovation with power splashed in between. The only glitch was the great man not completing his ton but that is only academic. the joy his innings brought can never be measured but can only be felt.

Best Shot: Straight Drive of Shoaib Akhtar down the ground. A gentle push which went for four.

Stats: 98 runs, 75 balls, 12 fours and 3 sixes.

Enjoy !!

Vs Olonga

Here is a video that captures most of the hitting - sweet revenge after Olonga ripped through Indian top order in the previous match. He got Sachin out twice - once on a No ball and then again!!! And this is how Sachin got back in this match.
