1. Sachin Tendulkar
The legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar was one of the greatest batsmen in international cricket history. On his 25th birthday, Sachin Tendulkar gifted a trophy to his nation by playing one of his best ODI innings. On 24th April 1998, during the final of the triangular tournament (Sharjah Cup) between India and Australia at Sharjah, Tendulkar played a match-winning century knock.
After Australia scored 272/9 (50 overs) in the first innings, Tendulkar scored 134 runs off 131 balls (12 fours and 3 sixes) to guide the national team to closure to the victory. Later, India chased down that target in 48.3 overs after losing four wickets (275/4).
