The Early Tendulkar

I still remember the 18-ball 53 that Tendulkar made against Pakistan in an exhibition match. A fantastic innings eventhough India ended up on the losing side. Here is what Qadir, Sachin and Srikanth had to say about that innings.

A suitable beginning - Tendulkar takes Qadir on

As an aside, here is one thought that has always troubled me. There have been several matches in which Tendulkar scored big runs but India lost. This is seen by many people as a blight in Tendulkar's record...isn't that surprising? I mean, one person plays well, the rest fail and still that one person who played well gets blamed!!!

No idea. Though TV channels (here in India) might not have it...because they don't show it. And they do keep showing highlights of all kinds of matches, test and ODIs.

I also remember 18 ball 53 run against Pakistan. He was more aggressive in his early days of his career.
