241 runs - with no cover drives! Sachin's SCG epic

Australia legend Steve Waugh looks back on one of the most disciplined Test innings of all time, when Sachin Tendulkar hit 241 in Sydney and refused to play a favourite shot

[vikhyath.]

That most impressive thing about this innings is that he managed to remain not out with Steve Bucknor as one of the on-field umpire in the match.

Steve Waugh commenting that "It was a lesson even in my last test match" Greatest appreciation ever

[whitephoenix]

Sportspersons often have muscle memory, especially someone like Sachin who has been playing for years. It is instantaneous and instinctive to go for a cover drive when the ball is bowled outside off. To not give into that instinct for 431 balls is some seriously amazing mental fortitude.

Surely one of the greatest ever innings in cricketing history.

[SuperSudiproy]

And KIDS compare the god with kohli...what a joke.

[rifatrahman]

431 balls he faced without playing a single cover drive?God! that's some extraterrestrial level things. The little master. 🖤

[rustyesh]

"Sachin ne kitne banaye?" "Sachin out ho gaya kya?"
That was the first thing we used to ask each other back in the day :D
A true genius of the game.

*"Arey Sachin khel raha hai Abhi"*
This line has a separate fanbase
#GOAT

[MemesnMore]

During yesterday's WTC final, it was evident that discipline was lacking. In order to succeed in a test match, discipline is crucial.

[shubhamozha]

Sachin's biggest strength was his humbleness.Eventhough he was a GOAT he acknowledged his flaws, that for me makes him even more special.

[Kartik_Chandwaskar]

This is arguably the most disciplined inning ever in the history of cricket...

[justskvthings]

Scoring 241* without a single cover drive

Hats off to u Sachin Sir #GOAT

[agytjax]

What's also impressive is the way Australian crowd and the Aussie players applauding Sachin's 100. Great sportsmanship from a sport loving nation.

[nishantintouch]

Even Buckner couldn't get him out, let alone Aussie bowlers.

[RahulSharma-mwzw]

Ganguly was waiting for Brett lee's double century 🙄😂😂😂

[nayeem]

"That brings up 200 for Brett Lee "😂😂

[DebayanDe]

VK18 can never reach this level of mental toughness.. nobody in the current Indian batting line up understands what "Occupying the crease" means in Test Cricket.

[animeshrajput]

She : He must be cheating on me
He : Watching Sachin's 241 with no cover drive

[karthikarthik]

Who are all watching tis video after kholi’s struggle in England 😂

[ajgaming]

I'll kiss my partner for every cover drive Sachin plays
Sachin :-

[jarnamhar]

Coming here to witness this legendary innings after Kohli's dismissal in the 2nd innings of the WTC 2023 final! The current team should learn from innings like these and create a mental fortitude to play such innings! ❤🫰🏻 Sachin👑
