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

#4 India v Sri Lanka, breaking Sunil Gavaskar’s record in 2005

The knock of 109 meant so much to the maestro as he was seen jumping and punching the air in delight

A dark phase in the great man’s life arrived in 2004 when he encountered a Tennis Elbow injury that forced him out of the action for a while. He had to undergo a surgery but the recovery was very painful. He stated in the movie that he wasn’t even able to hold on to a glass of water.

He feared that his career was over and used to pray to God not to end his career in such a manner. Tendulkar worked really hard to make a comeback and started training gradually. As he regained fitness, he made a return to international cricket.

He was on the verge of breaking Sunil Gavaskar’s record of 34 Test centuries and after the comeback, he struck a century against Sri Lanka at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi. The knock of 109 meant so much to the maestro as he was seen jumping and punching the air in delight.
