India's financial capital- Mumbai- found itself in tension and sadness in 2008, when terrorists attacked the iconic Taj hotel. Everybody, in India, had just topic to discuss at the time and the England cricket team, on tour to India returned back after leaving midway.

The Tests were shifted to Chennai and Mohali and chasing 387 for a win in the fourth innings, Sachin Tendulkar played possibly his best Test innings, making an unbeaten century to help India chase down the massive score.

He later dedicated the victory to those affected by the blasts in Mumbai.

"To score 387 on a track where the ball was bouncing and jumping awkwardly was great. Cricket is a lesser thing compared to what happened in Mumbai and we are with those who lost their dear ones," he said.
