One of greats of the game made his ODI debut against Pakistan in the year 1989. Tendulkar, who was just 16-years-old at that time, got out on a duck in his debut match. But very few knew what was about to come from that young boy. In a career spanning over 24 years, Tendulkar hit 100 Test centuries, scored more than 34,000 international runs and remained a strong pillar for the Indian team throughout his career. Tendulkar's staggering numbers is testimony of his legacy.

Alongside Tendulkar two more Indian players, fast bowlers Vivek Razdan and Salil Ankola, none of whom had an exceptional cricket career, made their ODI debut in the same match. However, both of these players made a name for themselves in alternate careers. While Ankola turned towards acting and did reasonably well, Razdan went on to become a successful Hindi commentator.
