5 times Team India surrendered after Sachin Tendulkar's wicket

#2 India vs Pakistan, Chennai, 1999

An India-Pakistan game is always a high-pressure one. This time, the pressure was even more. The two countries were on the verge of a war and there were huge political tensions and the teams were under a huge amount of pressure before this test match.

After the second innings, Pakistan set a target of 271 runs in front of India. This was obviously not an easy one against a bowling attack like Pakistan’s.

For a score of 6 runs, India lost the first two wickets… which was not really a surprise. Then came Sachin, the hope of the entire country on the ground.

Sachin started playing his usual game but wickets kept falling down at the other end. In the last few hours of the game, Sachin was seen getting cramps and his back was worsening. On the other hand, Saqlain Mushtaq was at his very best. With no support at all from the other end a sore back, Sachin kept playing his shots but eventually got out.

When Sachin got out, India needed 17 runs and there were three wickets in hand. India lost the game by 12 runs… which tells the entire story!
