In November 1989, Master Blaster made his debut against Pakistan in Karachi when he was just a 16 years old kid. His whole performance on the test was noteworthy. A few days later after the test, he made started representing India in ODIs.
The Pakistan series was followed by a series in New Zealand. However, his ODI performance was poor but he still managed to make his place in the next tour of England. On 14th August 1990, his second test ton saved India from certain defeat against England at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester.

In 1996 World Cup Sachin was the highest run scorer with two centuries. Unfortunately, Sri Lanka won the world cup but Sachin carried away the spectators’ hearts. His style and technique over the years made him “God of Cricket”. On 16th November 2013, Sachin Tendulkar left the world stage of Cricket. With his retirement, an era ended in world cricket. On this auspicious day, heartiest regards to the Master Blaster from our team.
