Reliving Sachin Tendulkar's ODI centuries: 6-10

#10 - 114 (126) against South Africa at Mumbai, 1996

Tendulkar treated his home crowd at the Wankhede Stadium to a wonderful display of stroke-play

Having won the Titan Cup and surged to a memorable 2-1 Test series triumph, India entered the one-off ODI in Mumbai with immense confidence. On the other hand, South Africa had already begun thinking of the flight back home as a long and fruitless tour arrived at its conclusion. Batting first, India were bolstered by a tremendous century from skipper Tendulkar.

The attacking right-hander ran hard between the wickets and put the visitors to the sword. As evidenced by his tally of 14 boundaries, he paced his innings to perfection. Powered by Tendulkar's 126-ball 114, India reached 267 on a dicey track. Venkatesh Prasad's four-wicket haul crippled South Africa's pursuit and ensured that the hosts coasted to a facile 74-run victory.
