Reliving Sachin Tendulkar's Test Centuries: Century 31-35

3. 194 not out v Pakistan at Multan, 2004

Tendulkar grinds Pakistan at Multan, 2004

This game is best remembered for Virender Sehwag's sensational triple century and India's innings win over Pakistan in their first full tour of the country in 15 years.

However, India's only innings in the Test also witnessed a top class Sachin Tendulkar century, and the fact that Rahul Dravid declared the innings with him 6 short of his double century is something that remains a controversial chapter in Indian cricket history.

Due to Sehwag's heroics at the other end, Tendulkar played a sedate innings and completely dominated the Pakistan attack in his own way. The opposition could hardly ever test him and the bowling attack comprising of Shoaib Akhtar, Saqlain Mushtaq, Shabbir Ahmed, Abdul Razzaq and Mohammad Sami looked absolutely toothless.

He batted for more than eight hours and hit 21 boundaries, but the coveted double century against Pakistan in Pakistan was not to be as Dravid declared late on the 2nd day.
