A combined all-time Test XI from India and England

#4 Sachin Tendulkar

Tendulkar’s match winning fourth-innings century at Chennai in 2008 was a masterpiece

Back in the 90s, Tendulkar's influence over Indian cricket could be perceived when the second wicket fell. The sight of him looking up at the sky for protection before striding onto the middle invariably with his team in trouble raised the anticipation levels in the arena multifold.

Finding the right balance between attack and defense was among the key reasons for Tendulkar entering into unchartered territories in the annals of batting. England got to witness the maestro’s coming of age moment during the course of his maiden Test century at Old Trafford.
