When Sachin Tendulkar played a scintillating innings of 143 against Australia to get India into the final of the Coca-Cola Trophy, one thought that he may have brought his best out a bit earlier than one would've liked. But a few days later, the Little Master showed that his best was indeed yet to come when he smashed 134 off 131 balls to help India chase down Australia’s target of 273 in 48.3 overs.
18 years after that game that also had the famous sandstorm, it still gets talked about of the best innings played by the maestro during his 24-year long career.
