Tendulkar told his 5 best innings of ODIs:Innings played against Pakistan in 2003 World Cup and played after father's death
The ODI against West Indies to be played in Ahmedabad on 6 February is Team India's 1000th ODI. Former India captain and master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has congratulated the team players and Indian cricket administrators for this and said that everyone has an important contribution in this journey. He said that the one-day revolution came after the 1996 World Cup. Sachin also told about the 5 innings of his one-day career.
One of the best innings against Pakistan in 2003 World Cup
Tendulkar has also included his 5 best ODI innings of 98 against Pakistan at Centurion in 2003 World Cup. "It was a pressure match," he said. That innings from Centurion is one of my best performances in the World Cup.
Apart from this, Sachin has also included a century against Kenya in Bristol in special innings. He scored this century soon after the death of his father, Professor Ramesh Tendulkar. Tendulkar said, 'I got emotional seeing my mother when I came home. She broke down after my father passed away, but even in that hour of grief, she didn't want me to stay at home and wanted me to play for the national team. When I scored that century against Kenya, I got very emotional.
His other outstanding innings include 2 centuries against Australia in Sharjah and 200 against South Africa in Gwalior. He said it was a memorable innings as South Africa had a very good bowling attack at that time and it was the first time anyone had scored a double century in ODIs.
One-day revolution after 1996 World Cup
Tendulkar said that one-day revolution came after 1996. He said, 'The hype in ODIs happened in the 1996 World Cup and then the biggest change happened. Before that it was 1983 and it was amazing. Yes, the stadiums were full then, but after the 1996 World Cup, major changes were visible. I experienced those changes and ODI got a new dimension.
Tendulkar has played in India's 200th, 300th, 400th, 500th, 600th, 700th and 800th ODIs.
Tendulkar, who played in white jersey till 2000-01,
said that playing ODIs in white jersey has come to an end. "If I remember correctly, we played against Zimbabwe in white jersey till the end of 2000-01. I remember my white ball experience was in the 1990 tri-series in New Zealand. The first day-night match I played in India, we were given colored T-shirts and white pants at the JLN Stadium in Delhi.
Sachin said that now there have been changes in the rules
Tendulkar said that now a lot of rules have changed in ODIs. “Earlier there was only one white ball for an innings and when it got dirty it would be difficult to see and it would reverse. Now we have different rules. Now there is a rule of two new balls and the fielding is also very different.
