5 Golden innings from Indians you cannot forget

#3 Sachin's 136 against Pak in Madras(1999):

Sachin has played some multiple extraordinary innings throughout the course of his wonderful career, but there was one particular knock, that I loved the most. Yes, you guessed it right, that 136 in hot and humid conditions in Madras stands out for me.

While Sachin was playing the innings of his life and taking the attack to the likes of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Saqlain Mushtaq, he was also dealing with one problem at the same time- back spasms. At the score of 83, Sachin was down on the ground and required attention from the physio. However, he kept going on and notched up a brilliant century.

But he was running out of partners on the other end as Mongia was dismissed after scoring a half-century. Sachin kept fighting for India and helped the hosts reach within touching distance of the winning score. But Saqlain was also having the match of his life. He scalped the precious wicket of Sachin for 136 and derailed the Indian chase.

With Sachin's dismissal, India lost the momentum and eventually fell short of the target by 12 runs.
