Reliving Sachin Tendulkar's ODI centuries: 11-15

#13 - 100 (89) against Australia at Kanpur, 1998

After spending almost 11 months without scoring an ODI ton, Tendulkar reeled off three centuries in April 1998. All three came against a strong Australian bowling attack. The first of those occurred at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. In the fourth match of the Pepsi Triangular series, the visitors could only muster a below par total of 222 from their quota of 50 overs. With four vital scalps, Ajit Agarkar was the wrecker-in-chief.

What followed was another batting masterclass from the Tendulkar-Ganguly combine. The duo batted fluently and effectively sealed the game for India with a 175-run opening partnership. While the southpaw was content with offering solid support from his end, Tendulkar motored along at a rapid rate. He hammered seven sixes and brought up a splendid 89-ball hundred. India completed a comprehensive six-wicket triumph.
