This was Sachin’s first first-class ton, and it came on his Ranji debut. This was the beginning of the era of Sachin Tendulkar that would end only 25 years later with another brilliant Ranji innings of 79, which would lead to Mumbai winning over Haryana. It was the announcement to the world that Sachin had arrived and what they had just seen (a Sachin hundred), they would be delighted seeing a 100 times more. Mumbai scored a huge total of 394 in response to Gujarat’s 140 in the 1^st innings. The game was a draw finally.
