Top 5 knocks by Sachin Tendulkar in Test Cricket

#1 155* Vs Australia - Chennai 1998

Sachin Tendulkar

This was a knock when one genius completely outwitted the other. It was a series which was billed as the battle between Shane Warne and Sachin Tendulkar. Warne drew first blood in the first innings of the Test Match dismissing Tendulkar for just 4. But in the second, the Aussie was given a full view of Tendulkar’s mastery and his ability to play with the field.

When Warne tossed one up into the rough, Tendulkar swept him over mid-wicket for a six, and when the wily craftsman dropped short trying to compensate, Tendulkar rocked back onto the back foot and pulled and cut Warne with lethal effect.

Tendulkar also flicked and drove Kasprowicz to all parts of the ground and in the end, conjured up a magical 155*. Even Warne might have secretly admired the way Tendulkar worked his magic with the bat on that day
