#4 Two scores of the 90s as India Skipper in ODI Cricket
Sachin was burdened by the hopes of millions of Indian fans, who always wanted to see him score a century every time he came out to bat in India colours. Similar is the fan following for Virat, who carries a lot of responsibility not only as a batsman but also as the skipper of the Indian team. At times, the pressure gets the better of the batsman as he approaches a milestone during his innings.
Even the best sometimes fail to cop it and are caught in the nervous nineties. Tendulkar struggled on many occasions when he made it to the nineties, denying him a lot of centuries. But it was for a couple of occasions when he missed the magical three-figure mark while captaining the side. Even Virat, in his career so far as India captain in ODI cricket, has failed to convert his score of 90 into a hundred on just two occasions.
