Sachin: A Billion Dreams, 5 sparkling Sachin matches which featured in the movie

#2 India v Kenya, 1999 World Cup

It was during the 1999 ODI World Cup that Tendulkar had to fly back from England midway through the tournament due to the demise of his father. The incident had shattered him as he was very close to his father and followed his teachings throughout his life.

He was disturbed mentally after the big loss but his family members suggested that the Indian team needed him for the World Cup. Tendulkar flew back to England and featured in the league match against Kenya at Bristol.

He somehow controlled his tears during the stay at the crease and managed to score a century. The right-hander scored 140 off just 114 balls with 16 fours and 3 sixes that propelled India to a total of 329 which they defended successfully.

Tendulkar dedicated the ton to his late father and revealed in the movie that from that day onwards, whenever he scored a century, he lifted his bat up and looked towards the heavens, that was for his late father.
