WACA: A stadium filled with memories

#4 Sachin Tendulkar’s magnificent century at just 18

Sachin Tendulkar scored an incredible hundred in Perth at just 18.

Going back to the 20th century in the year 1992, Sachin Tendulkar, aged just 18, had announced his arrival in grand style by crafting a brilliant hundred.

On a track where most of the deliveries were whizzing past his nose, Tendulkar expertly faced the four-pronged Aussie pace attack by punching and driving with ease and cutting and pulling with finesse. His 114 in Perth was truly a defining moment in his career.

Though India lost the Test by a huge margin of 300 runs, Tendulkar defied the odds and showed everyone what it takes to be at the highest level.

So, WACA truly stood to the testimony of producing some of the greatest contests between bat and ball. But now after its exit, it is a great chance for the newly built 'Perth stadium' to produce some exciting cricket.
