7 iconic venues where Sachin Tendulkar failed to score an international ton

India v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy
Sachin Tendulkar- The God of Cricket

#6: The National Stadium, Karachi

First Test - Pakistan v South Africa - Day Five
Sachin made his debut in this iconic ground at Karachi

Being a fan of Sachin, no one would forget the National stadium located in Karachi. In 1989, Sachin made his debut in international cricket at this ground against the mighty Pakistani bowling attack.

Though he has a tremendous record in Pakistan, Sachin faltered on many occasions against the pace and bounce offered by Karachi pitch.

"I thought the first innings of my life in Karachi will also be my last"- Sachin about his debut and the injury sustained during the match.


#5: Galle International Stadium, Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka v England: 1st Test - Day Two
Galle- Best in producing one of the most turning tracks in Test cricket

Sachin has had some of the best battles against the Sri Lankan bowling attack in Sri Lanka. Though the Island nation is one of his favourite hunting nations, he continued to flounder in the dust bowl at Galle.

However, once, he got a chance to score a century in the 2nd innings at Galle (2010) but he got trapped LBW by the veteran Lasith Malinga. Sachin's 84 runs off 142 balls in that innings eventually saved the Indian team from a humiliating innings defeat.
