5 biggest Indian losses under Sachin Tendulkar

India vs West Indies, 3rd Test at Bridgetown, Barbados (1997)

This loss was so heartbreaking that in his autobiography 'Playing it My Way', Sachin Tendulkar has written that he wanted to quit cricket altogether after being disgusted with his team’s performance.

March 31, 1997, will go down in history as one of the most embarrassing days of India cricket.

After drawing the opening two Tests, India were heading for a victory in the third.

Tendulkar's men needed 120 to win with 10 wickets in hand. With only VVS Laxman managing a double-digit score, India lost the last 8 wickets for 49 runs and were all out for 81.

It was the lowest total that the West Indies had ever defended and Brian Lara became only the sixth West Indian to win his first Test match as captain.

"Monday 31 March 1997 was a dark day in the history of Indian cricket and definitely the worst of my captaincy career", Tendulkar wrote.
