It has been exactly 19 years since the battle between Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne – then, widely considered as the best batsman and bowler in the world – reached its peak.
In the first Test of a three-match series in Chennai, Warne had dismissed Tendulkar for just four in the first innings as India conceded a 71-run lead to the Aussies.
In India’s second innings, Tendulkar came back with a bang. He played one of the best knocks of his career, scoring 155 from 191 deliveries – including 14 fours and four sixes.
The highlight of the innings came when Warne bowled around the wicket and Tendulkar took the attack to the leg-spinner. India would win the match by 179 runs and later, win the series 2-1.
