5 biggest Indian losses under Sachin Tendulkar

India vs South Africa, 1st Test at Durban, South Africa (1996)

The 1996-97 series was Sachin Tendulkar's first overseas Test tour as captain and third overall. The visitors won the toss and opted to bowl in the Boxing Day Test.

South Africa opener Andrew Hudson (80) top-scored in the first innings as the hosts posted for 235 with India's Venkatesh Prasad doing most of the damaged with his impressive five-for.

Allan Donald's five-wicket haul ripped apart India's batting and the visitors bowled out for 100.

In their second innings, the Proteas posted another 259 runs and Prasad was mighty impressive with consecutive five-fors. Tendulkar & Co needed 395 to win but they went down like ninepins. Donald and Shaun Pollock came together to thunder strike India.

The Men in Blue were dismissed for 66 and they lost the match by 328 runs to trail in the three-match Test series by 1-0. India lost the second match too, whereas the last match was drawn. South Africa won the series 2-0.

The memories of Indian batting line-up being blown away twice in this Test are engraved in many Indian fans' memories.
