The tournament saw the genius of Tendulkar unfurl in a flourish of extraordinary colours. Kapil and he emerged the winners, beating Ravi Shastri and Azhar in the final. However, it was one of the group matches on the first day that saw greatness
ignited, with a couple of strokes of incredible talent and almost divine inspiration.
Richard Hadlee, premier swing bowler of the world, number one on Deloitte’s rating, had troubled every batsman in India two years earlier. He ran in with his smooth fluid steps and sent a perfectly pitched delivery on the stumps. Tendulkar’s head
remained steady under the white helmet, his bat swung in a straight arc and sent the ball over mid-off, and it sailed all the way into the stands. A couple of balls later, a bemused Hadlee pitched just outside off, landing on the good-length spot, moving
it away. The bat remained straight as it swung down to strike the ball over extra-cover. As confounded eyes followed the resultant trail of miracle, the ball landed soundly on one of the advertising boards beyond the boundary. And this was one and a half
decades before the rise of Twenty20.
Thanks for providing detail
