Tendulkar's entry as a Boss In 1994, Sachin Tendulkar opened for the first time for India in an ODI (due to stiff neck, Sidhu was rested). Tendulkar smashed 82 off 49 balls with 15 fours & a six. The Rest is HIS-Story. India was celebrating Holi that day.

@sachin_rt I saw this match live.. He effortlessly hit like 5 or 7 FOURS on almost consecutive balls and I was thinking what's he on about today..

@senthil77 @sachin_rt Before this match Morrison took Sachin's wicket. Commentators said, they found Sachin's weakness. Azhar Bhai promoted him up the order. Rest is the history

@sachin_rt GOAT 🐐! The last 2 weeks or so, every day has been a SRT classic day !!

@sachin_rt Later when Sehwag and Ganguly opened and Sachin was asked to come at 2 down, he was literally crying as his personal statistics were getting a huge hit

@sachin_rt My fav SRT innings in ODIs - so much awareness of field changes, and violent execution using a straight bat for almost all boundaries. Classical, meat of the bat stuff.

@sachin_rt I watched all 3 one dayers live one was washed out

@sachin_rt None, washed out

@sachin_rt Indeed. From middle order batsman to opener was a very productive and effective change.

@sachin_rt Footwork.. Just wao

@sachin_rt * 2 sixes not 1

@sachin_rt That v12 bat of his😍

@sachin_rt Woah

@sachin_rt And there was no electricity at our home 😭

@sachin_rt Pretty sure Sachin opened the innings for all matches prior to this one as well in the series.

@sachin_rt No, he didn’t, this was the 2nd match of the series and that’s the match he started opening for India
