Sachin Tendulkar's five best Test knocks vs Australia in India

#4 126, Chennai, 2000-01

Sachin battled his way to an impressive 126

The Border-Gavaskar trophy of 2001 was perhaps one of the greatest triumphs of an underdog in the history of sport. After losing the first Test clinically, team India broke numerous records by winning the second Test after being forced to follow-on.

Australia began the third Test on a positive note by posting a total of 391 buoyed by Hayden’s double century. It was a high stakes game and the little master delivered with an impressive 126.

Tendulkar brought all his experience into the game as he built useful partnerships with Laxman, Ganguly and Dravid which helped India post a first innings total of 501. Though Harbhajan was the star of that game, Sachin’s innings, which set up the precious advantage, cannot be undermined.
