India’s greatest ever batsman was also one of their most aggressive stroke-maker. Sachin Tendulkar earned the nickname ‘Master Blaster’ for his exploits with the willow. Sachin could plunder the best of bowlers with his masterclass batting.

Sachin’s batting was a perfect blend of balance, sublime timing and exquisite footwork. Sachin had the knack of picking the length early and dispatching good deliveries for boundaries.

He was strong on both sides of the wickets and could play the cut, pull or drive with the same ease. His trademark shot was the straight drive which went like a bullet past the bowler.

Equally strong against pace and spin, Sachin scored runs at a brisk pace in ODIs. Once set, he had the penchant to score big hundreds. The Mumbaikar became India's batting lynchpin for more than a decade and was their greatest match winner with the willow.

Out of the many glittering knocks Sachin has produced in ODIs, his quick-fire 98 off just 75 balls against Pakistan in the semifinals of the 2003 ICC World Cup ranks as one his finest performances with the willow.

Sachin's back to back centuries against Australia in the Coca-Cola Cup at Sharjah were instrumental in India lifting the trophy.
