It was on March 27, 1994 that India legend Sachin Tendulkar opened the batting in One-Day Internationals for the first time and as the saying goes, the rest is history.

In a match against New Zealand in Auckland, the then 20-year-old would score 82 from just 49 deliveries, with 15 fours and two sixes, to guide India to a comfortable seven-wicket victory.

Tendulkar would go on to notch up 15310 runs at an average of 48.29 with 45 centuries as an opener in the 50-over format at the international level.

Do you think Tendulkar is the greatest ODI batsman of all time?
