The legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar was not only a great batsman, but he was also an outstanding bowler, who also played the match-winner role even with the ball in hand. In his international career, Tendulkar got 201 wickets – 46 Test wickets, 154 ODI wickets and only T20I wicket.

Tendulkar’s first ODI wicket came during the 1990 Pune ODI against Sri Lanka (5th December 1990). In that game, Tendulkar dismissed the Sri Lankan opener Roshan Mahanama (24 runs) after the wicket-keeper Kiran More successfully grabbed a catch. Later, Tendulkar also dismissed the other opener Dammika Ranatunga (25 runs).
