India vs Australia: 5 Indian captains who lost an ODI by 10 wickets

#2 Sachin Tendulkar, India tour of West Indies,1997

The last game of the four-match ODI series between India and West Indies at Barbados was an important one for the Indians, as they were looking to level the series. Windies skipper Courtney Walsh won the toss and opted to chase. The opening pair of Tendulkar and Ganguly were dismissed pretty quickly. Rahul Dravid and Azharuddin stitched together a decent partnership but before it could turn into a match-winning one, Dravid got dismissed by Franklyn Rose. Azharuddin failed to convert his start and India were in trouble once again. Ajay Jadeja (68) played one of the best knocks of his career and carried India to a decent total of 199.

Chasing 200, West Indies played cautiously in the first few overs and once they got settled, it looked impossible to dismiss their openers. Stuart Williams played the role of a sheet anchor while a young Shivanarine Chanderpaul beautifully mixed caution with aggression to bring up a fine century. Eventually, India lost the game by 10 wickets and the already under pressure Sachin Tendulkar was forced to answer a lot of questions regarding his team’s unforgivable performance.
