5 times Team India surrendered after Sachin Tendulkar's wicket

#4 India vs Australia, Sharjah, 1998

Arguably the best innings of Sachin’s entire career and in fact, one of the best ODI innings ever played, in the desert storm at Sharjah is everyone’s favourite. Every Sachin fan has obviously watched that innings over and over again. But what most of the people fail to see is how he was fighting alone in the qualifying game.

India required 237 runs in 47 overs and Sachin scored 142 runs out of it. He smashed every bowler out of the park and made sure that the team qualified for the final game. It was a one-man show. People went bananas over the great innings that the little young man was playing but all of them failed to notice that the next highest score in the entire team was just 39.

Again, Sachin’s wicket was the fifth one and the score was 242 at the end of 43 overs. India was chasing 284 and still ended up losing the game.
