Sachin Tendulkar Birthday Specials: Most memorable knocks in ODIs

#4 98 vs Pakistan (2003)

Sachin scripted a memorable win for Indian team against Pakistan in World Cup 2003

This was the most anticipated World Cup match between the arch-rivals, India and Pakistan in 2003. Pakistan batted first and posted a daunting total of 273. It was an uphill task against the likes of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, and Shoaib Akhtar.

Sachin was determined to win and started off on a positive note. It was the second over of the Indian innings which defined the match after Sachin clobbered Shoaib for 18 runs in an over.

Sachin looked in great touch and anchored the chase beautifully. He scored a match-winning 98 and India won the encounter by 6 wickets. He himself declared this innings as the best ODI knock he has ever played.
