On this day in 1998: Tendulkar played a 143-run knock against Australia at Sharjah
NEW DELHI : It was on this day, 23 years ago, when former India batsman Sachin Tendulkar played a 143-run knock against Australia to take India into the finals of the Sharjah Cup.
This innings by Tendulkar is still considered as one of his best ODI knocks. The batsman scored 143 runs in pursuit of 276 runs from 46 overs.
Batting first, Australia had scored 284/7 owing to Michael Bevan’s knock of 101 runs. However, the target was adjusted to 276 for India from 46 overs due to a sandstorm.
Tendulkar’s knock was not able to make India win the match, but it ensured the Men in Blue’s entry into the finals of the tournament.
