Sachin Tendulkar’s Feats in a Different Era
Sachin Tendulkar, often called the “God of Cricket,” was a pioneer for young players.
In the 1990s, he became a global sensation with his fearless batting.
Sachin Tendulkar had a challenging start in Test cricket, debuting at 16 during India’s 1989 Pakistan tour.
For the first four years of his career, he played only overseas, gaining valuable experience. It wasn’t until he was 19 that he played a Test match in India, during England’s 1993 tour for a three-match series.
In the second Test at Chennai, Tendulkar made history by becoming the youngest Indian to score 150 in Tests. On February 12, 1993, at 19 years and 294 days, he scored his first home century. His knock was crucial in India’s strong total of 560/6 declared in the first innings.
It remains memorable as the first time he raised his bat for a century in India, a moment that continued to inspire fans throughout his career.
Javed Miandad: Pakistan’s Young Prodigy
Javed Miandad was another genius who made an early impact in Test cricket. During the 1970s, Miandad became known for his aggressive yet calculated approach to batting.
He achieved his four 150+ scores with finesse, often rescuing his team in tough situations.
His performances inspired generations of cricketers in Pakistan and beyond.
