One dream that will always remain
unfulfilled
Playing
against the West Indies pace attack of
Holding, Marshall, Garner and Roberts
Sachin's debut match was against Pakistan in a
test match on 1989. His one-day international
(ODI) debut was on December 18 against
Pakistan. His maiden ODI century came on
September 9, 1994 against Australia in Sri
Lanka at Colombo, just six years after his
debut. Starting there, he has so far scored a
record 38 ODI centuries
In
batting, he has reached a stage that others
can only dream of. He has destroyed
practically every bowling attack in the world.
Tendulkar's 'specialties' include the straight
drive (seemingly nobody plays the shot better
than him), the cover drive, the square cut,
the pullshot over midwicket/square leg, the
delicate leg glance, the late cut, the lofted
shots over mid-on and mid-off and not to
mention the improvisations he keeps coming up
with, time and again. He has tremendous power
in his forearms and can hit the ball out of
almost every ground in the World. He plays
each of his shots amazingly and has even
employed the reverse sweep to good effect.
Some of his shots are hit with so much power
that the ball simply rockets to the fence as
if he was trying to dismiss the ball from his
presence. On the other hand, some of his shots
are neatly timed and placed well. His timing
can be quite exquisite and it is this blend of
timing and raw power which makes him the
world's best/greatest batsman. Mentally very
strong, Tendulkar is best when confronted by a
challenge
