Sachin Tendulkar records: The beginning of a legendary innings
If you look at Sachin Tendulkar stats, most Sachin Tendulkar records were made when the Little Master was opening for India. Before this match in 1994, Tendulkar used to bat in the middle order but his potential wasn't entirely there to be seen in the shorter format of the game. Tendulkar. in his autobiography 'Playing It My Way', talked about how he believed that he could score well in the limited-overs format at the top of the innings through his aggressive approach.
Tendulkar went to then-captain Mohammad Azharuddin and team manager Ajit Wadekar and pleaded with them to allow him to open the Indian innings. Azharuddin gave him the chance to replace Navjot Singh Sidhu at the top and Tendulkar made the most of it. Scoring 82 out of 49 balls at an astonishing strike-rate of 167.34, Tendulkar helped India get a confident victory and level the series.
