[color=#DDDDDD][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(26, 27, 29)]No. 1: Sachin Tendulkar saved the Old Trafford Test for India in 1990 with an unbeaten 119 in the final innings. At 17 years and 112 days, he was only a month older than Mushtaq Mohammad was when he had become Test cricket's youngest centurion. [/background][/size][/font][/color][i]Wisden[/i][color=#DDDDDD][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(26, 27, 29)] noted: "He looked the embodiment of India's famous opener, Gavaskar, and indeed was wearing a pair of his pads."[/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#DDDDDD][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(26, 27, 29)]No. 2: "This little prick's going to end up with more runs than you, AB," Merv Hughes said as Tendulkar wrecked Shane Warne's debut with an unbeaten 148 at the SCG in 1992. He was the youngest boy to score a Test century in Australia.[/background][/size][/font][/color]

"That is when I felt that, yes, now I am here to play cricket anywhere in the world, any bowling attack and I am confident enough to tackle them," he would say, years later.[/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#DDDDDD][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(26, 27, 29)]No. 4: On his way to 111 at the Wanderers in 1992, Tendulkar, at 19 years and 217 days, became the youngest batsman to reach 1000 Test runs, displacing Kapil Dev. "In my era, I think he's the best player I've ever had the pleasure of playing against," Allan Donald, who bowled to Tendulkar in that match, said in 2007.[/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#DDDDDD][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(26, 27, 29)]No. 5: His first century in India was against England in 1993 in Madras, a venue at which he would play many more memorable innings. "Tendulkar's six-hour 165 - including 24 fours and a six - was a gem but, had a third umpire, using TV replay, been on hand to review a run-out attempt by Lewis when he was on 9, India might not have made such a conclusive total," [/background][/size][/font][/color][i]Wisden[/i]

It helped set up India's first Test victory in the country. He provided the thrust that allowed India to make a declaration and complete the win late on the final day.[/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#DDDDDD][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(26, 27, 29)]No. 7: A 142 in India's innings-victory against Sri Lanka in Lucknow in 1994. "The home team's start was uninspiring, the openers struggled to find their rhythm against Wickremasinghe ..."[/background][/size][/font][/color][i]Wisden[/i][color=#DDDDDD][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(26, 27, 29)] reported. "Not until mid-afternoon, when the assured Tendulkar helped place conditions in perspective, did India resemble the side so used to dominating visiting teams."[/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#DDDDDD][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(26, 27, 29)]o. 8: Tendulkar's 179 in Nagpur in 1994 was his first hundred against the West Indians and it remained his highest score until his maiden double-century in 1999. He got to this century by hooking Courtney Walsh for six.[/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#DDDDDD][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(26, 27, 29)]No. 9: Tendulkar made 122 out of 219 in the second innings at Edgbaston in 1996. No other batsman reached 20. "It will be difficult for India to get back into the series having lost the first Test. However, if one player can make it possible it is Tendulkar," Imran Khan wrote in the [/background][/size][/font][/color][i]Daily Telegraph[/i][color=#DDDDDD][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(26, 27, 29)]. "His hundred in the second innings was pure class. His compact defence and freedom of strokes on both sides of the wicket with a straight or a horizontal bat makes me feel that he might break all batting records - especially as he is even younger than Brian Lara."[/background][/size][/font][/color]
