What If: Sachin Tendulkar decided to become a fast bowler instead of a batsman

#2 No sandstorm at Sharjah

One of Sachin’s best ever innings

There were many instances where a Sachin Tendulkar century went in vain due to the lack of support by the other batsman. One such instance was in the Coca-Cola Cup of 1997-98 at Sharjah where Sachin took the attack to the Australian bowlers, especially Shane Warne, and smashed his way to a stupendous knock of 143.

Despite this, India failed to win the match, or qualify for the final, as none of the other batsmen even managed a half-century to their name.

So, we could only imagine what would have happened if Sachin Tendulkar was a mere domestic cricketer rather than India’s main batman.
