5 worst defeats for Sachin Tendulkar in ODIs

Tejas V
India v New Zealand - 2011 ICC World Cup Warm Up Game
In spite of being the format's most celebrated player, Tendulkar has a few painful memories

#4 Sri Lanka vs India, Sharjah, Coca-Cola Cup 2000 Final

<p>
India was wrapped up for 54, their lowest till date

By now, Tendulkar had had two lacklustre spells as skipper and now, Sourav Ganguly was at the helm of captaincy. It was the Final of the tri-series and Sri Lanka batted first after winning the toss.

The Sri Lankans posted a healthy total of 299. Chasing 300 to win, India encountered the unimaginable. Chaminda Vaas simply ran riot and scalped 5 wickets as the Indians were bundled out for a shambolic 54.

Till today, it is India's lowest ever score in an ODI and the Master Blaster himself would be embarrassed by this game.
