Sachin Tendulkar vs Kochi Tuskers Kerala in 2011
It was 15th April 2011 when Mumbai Indians were ready to take on Mahela Jayawardene’s Kochi Tuskers Kerala at their home ground Wankhede Stadium. Kochi opted to bowl first after winning the toss and had plans to get some early wickets. The decision backfired them as the ‘God of Cricket’ was at his best that day. Who would have thought that Master would stay at the crease for 20 overs and make a century? Tendulkar smashed every bowler that comes his way in his own style. The crowd was on their feet when the Indian legend completed his century on the last delivery of the innings.
Most of the cricket lovers had picked Mumbai as the winner after Sachin’s brilliant innings with the bat, but Kochi ambushed Tendulkar’s night as they won the game with an over to spare. Jayawardene played crucial innings of 56 while Brendon McCullum was unstoppable throughout as he made 81.
