From the Vault: Teenage Tendulkar turns it on in Sydney

In just his third Test in Australia, an 18-year-old Sachin Tendulkar scored a wonderful 148 not out at the SCG to confirm his status as a star of the future.

Richest cricket board can't honour it's greatest player on youtube and a foreign cricket board uploading numerous videos of the Indian legend. Much respect Cricket Australia.

[monishhr]

Only player to have played both old and modern cricket.

Imagine scoring close to 35, 000 runs, hitting 100 hundreds, winning the most MOTM (76) & MOTS (20) awards in International Cricket in arguably the toughest era of fast & spin bowling. Sachin Tendulkar's longevity in the game is absolutely remarkable and he is a true humble legend.

Dean Jones congratulating young sachin at the end of the innings!!
What a great sportsmen and legend, missing Dean Jones!!!!

[jpmix]

The senior players of Australia didn't show their ego that is the spirit 🔥

1:03 At a tender age of 18, hitting such shots with that accuracy, timing and technique. Truly the best prodigy cricket has ever seen.

Sacccchin Tendulkar and Tony Greig still the best batting commentary combination.

[bhatnagarpawas]

He is the greatest batsman after don Bradman, some people compare him with lara, some with dravid, some with ponting and now even with kohli but he ia better than all of these greatest of this era

[smritam]

Sachin faced a quality bowling line up throughout his career.After his era cricket has lost it's romanticism as bowlers are restricted excruciatingly.

[dawoodmsaleem]

Today's under 18 will never be able to play the way he played and he faced many legendary players Like Waqar Akram and Many More Huge Respect from Pakistan 💖

[syedtalha]

Look at the respect from the crowd & Australian team. He was run out by sacrificing himself for a team huge respect to Mr Sachin Tendulkar

[sarfarazshaikh]

What a mature reaction by him when he reaches a hundred... At that age to have that maturity was a sign of greatness.. Rightly appreciated by the greats of Allan Border.. Dean jones and others

[usmanahmad]

As a Pakistani, I always hated him, but I must say I am priveliged to be born in 90's and have seen "Tendulkar in making"
The demeanour, class and style. I miss little master. May God bless him.

[imwalkworse]

And they will rise in ovation to applaud his centuries for a 100 more times.

[Anvesh_Chamakuri]

I don't like comparing but Sachin faced the best quality of PACE, SWING AND SPIN within the cricket era.
Tendulkar was technically the best, ODI and Test Period. Lara comes a close second.

[alanjoseph]

People should stop comparing players from different eras, especially their stats. Just enjoy the genius of this guy who carried the expectations of a country for more than 20 years....🇮🇳.

[omraval]

After scoring a century in Australia his celebration is just sawing his character that how humble he is!

[ShahPatel]

Sachin's Age is showing 18yrs but looking like a 16yr boy
Unlike today's U19 boys from who looks like 29 🤦‍♂️
Edit- I havent mentioned about any 16yr player here 🤭

World's greatest player happy birthday to you


100 century = wow😱

[ramijraja]

he got standing ovations even at teen age, his humility was on display from very beginning.
