5 memorable sixes hit by Sachin Tendulkar

#2 Against Andrew Caddick in World Cup 2003 at Durban

Out of the park

Tendulkar was in pristine form in the World Cup in 2003. His appetite for runs amazed everyone as he smashed runs in upwards of 600 in that single edition of the World Cup.

In a game against England which is more remembered for Ashish Nehra’s six-for with the ball, also witnessed some of Tendulkar’s astonishing batting at the display. It was in the ninth over of the Indian innings that saw the ‘Master Blaster’ took it to the English spearhead, Andrew Caddick to smash him all over the park.

After hitting him for a boundary earlier in the over, there was Tendulkar special on the third ball that every Indian would recollect from that game against England. On a delivery that was an attempted bouncer from Caddick, Sachin was quickly on to the backfoot to smack it out of the park over the mid-wicket boundary for a maximum.

It was his explicit judgment of the length that impressed even the commentators given he went back across after seeing the ball pitched short. It was a treat to watch an Indian batsman pull the ball so cleanly to help it sail out in the trees as even the great Tony Greig mentions in his commentary stint.
