Sportspersons often have muscle memory, especially someone like Sachin who has been playing for years. It is instantaneous and instinctive to go for a cover drive when the ball is bowled outside off. To not give into that instinct for 431 balls is some seriously amazing mental fortitude. Surely one of the greatest ever innings in cricketing history.
@@vaibhavsen5032 no bro still he scored century there.but original virat flow was not seen.he was bit struggling .those who watched live they only know ........i hope as soon as he will come in his flow
Watching Kohli struggling realises me how tough it is to come back stronger when you are the one who set examples.... that man's focus,concentration, determination and temperament was of GOD LEVEL.... i think now i can understand that why they have choosen this term...."GOD OF CRICKET"
Man..yet another tendulkar fanatic! Esp for a guy who played for records and a run machine. Went missing several times in 4th innings of test matches(esp abroad). Failed in crucial world cup matches(1999 Aus, 2003 aus, 2007-SL, 2011 SL). Other than Sharjah 98, this innings, Chennai 99, Perth 92..i cant remember any 100s resulting in India win. Even headingley 193 came after the openers batted England out. He just cashed in on a flat pitch, which he does 90 pc of times. Kohli miles better!!
@@IITianProudIndian are u on weed... So u raised many statements (not stats) and where should I start??? Eg : Sachin's average in finals is 96 compared to 12 to that of Kohli... Sachin played for records??? So now videos of past cricket matches are available in youtube and just check the state of Indian team when he was cheaply out (eg...96 WC Semifinal) Sachin played in a mediocre team and Kohli played in high profile Indian team and still Sachin's majority of 100s resulted in success... And also if u r closing ur eyes and stating that Sachin's majority of 100s resulted in a loss(which is not a fact), then that actually shows the great sportsmanship of him as he was the lone wolf in the team... "We didn't lose to team India but instead lost to Sachin" - U might heard about this famous quote...
@@nms6077 Dear friend, all the idiots who praise Kohli to unimaginable extent are completely in denial mode and are super-ignorant about the team efforts of a selfless player like Sachin Tendulkar. It's better that such minds be left with their own well of thoughts and opinions. To know the truth, do read my comment to this video about the idiot endlessly praising fans of Virat Kohli.
Do you know Brett Lee was that much nervous as he denied to bowl so Tuggas had to request Damien Martyn to bowl (this was also Tugga's last test match). Ref: Out of my comfort zone :an autobiography of Stephen Waugh).
I know it's been said countless times.. but cricket has never been the same since Sachin retired.. no more tension and anxiety when a batsman is batting.. no more sitting at the exact position and place in fear of getting him out.. Sachin is an emotion! Thankyou! :))
VK18 can never reach this level of mental toughness.. nobody in the current Indian batting line up understands what "Occupying the crease" means in Test Cricket.
No offence but these are players of the era of t20 and t10s.. they belong from the era of tiktok short videos, how do you expect them to have a concentration level like their predecessors had... 🙂
Coming here to witness this legendary innings after Kohli's dismissal in the 2nd innings of the WTC 2023 final! The current team should learn from innings like these and create a mental fortitude to play such innings! ❤🫰🏻 Sachin👑
That was different pitch altogether that was in england this is in Australia and that was in final although this one also in Australia which is equally difficult to play but still you can't compare this one to that
@@ShashankNair-z1x To achieve victory, one must sometimes relinquish things dear to them without dwelling on comparisons or pitches. Success may require letting go of personal preferences for the greater goal.
Ganguly was under immense pressure and fought against the management to include Kumble in the squad and Kumble took 7 wickets in the same match and proved Ganguly right.
@@abhishekkr.7986 doesn't matter, he was a leader. Ms dhoni was terrible as a batsman all the time in challenging conditions yet he was the captain, one of the best there is. Ganguly despite his flaws amassed 18000+ runs...
India could have scored 700 at SCG in 2018 too but they declared before that. Scoring 700 isn't a matter of pride but shows the lack of confidence in the bowling line-up. I don't remember Australia having ever made 700+ because they're always confident that 500-550 is enough for their bowling attack.
@@arnabghosh5814 that's right... But that's the strength of bowlers nowadays..but imagine the Australian batting unit in those days... And compare it with the current batting unit.
@@arnabghosh5814 it was all about ego, best bowling attack? Ghanta we scored 700+...it was absolutely shame for Aussies then, that a team scored 700+ against them... today what u r thinking was not same 15+ years ago... today test matches gets ended in 72 hours..no quality batsman nor any quality bowler & at that time Australia was dominating force they ud bulldoze & bully every team..it was just giving them back....so that 700 at that context & time was huge huge moral booster.
Well us aussies and the brits want to see quality cricket. If the cricket is good the fans are happy. At the end of the day cricket is entertainment and this is peak entertainment.
@@wazik7153 that's more to it actually. You are richer countries and excel at other sports too, so you don't have the same strong tendency to view Cricket in the same strongly partisan way as many of us Asian fans. Also you would appreciate that this is probably one of the very few things that us developing countries can give the developed ones a run for their money at. That means a lot subconsciously for us formerly colonised people to prove our mettle.
@@paulbeatty9676 Yes absolutely. Btw came here again after Virat's recent struggle with form. He needs to do the same right now to get out of the muddle he finds himself in.
It wasn't just no cover drives. He barely played any shot on the off side. I watched this innings live and it was one of the most incredible things I've seen.
in this series, every batsman had atleast one special knock. Ganguly in Brisbane, Dravid and Laxman in Adelaide, Sehwag in Melbourne, Sachin in Sydney.
I've heard somewhere.... It's not important how you start.... It's important how you end..... Many players come and start way better than Sachin..... But nobody ended like Sachin.... And that's what make Sachin god of Cricket.
@@Xryujfdjd ended with winning a world cup and scoring 100 international centuries Scoring over 28k runs Winning I'm, a top scorer in a IPL SEASON at the age of 35 100+ International wickets Top scorer in 2 world cups and second top scorer in 2011.
The biggest regret of my life? I grew up while Sachin was at the peak of his career and I didn't go watch him live even once in a cricket stadium. I didn't have the money then. Today I can buy a VIP box anywhere for a match, but there is no SACHIN. EDIT : I have never received so many likes anywhere. In personal life, I am passing through a lonely phase at the moment and trust me, the likes/comments made me feel good. The legacy of Sachin lives on... Thank you friends.. I hope none of you ever feel lonely in your lives.
For all those who compare Sachin vs Kohli or anybody else, take a step back and watch this innings.. To hold back your instincts for 400+ deliveries and at a stage in the career where there was nothing else left to prove is just out of the world.. Forget the talent, The Will at such a point of the career is something no legend of any sport has attempted ever.. Its a shame hes compared to anyone AT ALL, hes absolutely UNTOUCHABLE... Period
His balance at the crease...the head position..his footwork..his timing..his follow through...truly Sublime..🙏🙏 Unfortunately my generation couldn't watch Sir Don Bradman, Len Hutton, Jack Hobbs, Barry Richards, Sir Garry Sobors... But after seeing Tendulkar, I have no regrets..!
You know I think this mental adjustment to not play a cover drive (one of his fav shots) is almost super human ,, and he did for almost 2 days ,,, it’s more impressive than other technical aspects ,, the only player who comes close is Martin Crowe when he decided to not play any out swinger from Akram ,, that is real cricket
@Kitty In The Fridge Are you 14 years old? As you're comparing one of greatest cricketing legends in history with a cricketer like Buttler who scores in front of comparitively low leveled team in one of 50 innings he plays...
🇮🇳We booo our own players, forget cheering for the opposite team for good game . British fans , Aussie fans are interested in the gameplay rather than the results.
For me, this test series is still going on Live in my memories. The result was 1-1. These 2 team were inseparable. And even as an Indian fan, no one would forget that it was Steve Waugh last match, such an emotional moment for him as well his team and Australia. We are also glad that we got honoured seeing Steve Waugh retiring playing with India as his last match 🙏 Wish that time come back again.
Yes..before that we used to surrender in australia..this tour we batted well..macgrath unavailability also made huge difference and we also tried to make most of his absence ..we were lucky and played some good test cricket ..school days were crazy
One of the greatest inning ever played by an overseas player on their soil. Steve Waugh was gracious enough to admit he was blown away by his enormous mental strength and that he didn't play his favourite shot throughout the inning. Don't know why i was emotional and had a lump in my throat watching this clip over and over again just for what it is. A masterpiece
exactly bro....I too do have my heartbeat dropped down whenever I see this video...it has got something about it... that something is Sachin's aura that he used to have and still has as the "God of Cricket". When something like "we didn't have the answers, he just was too good, we couldn't get him out" comes from the greatest Australian Captain then that man would be GOAT. He'd be none other than Sir Sachin Tendulkar.
Those who try to compare sachin with anyone , those who try to defame sachin , ask yourself if your favourite players can play like this .Sachin is always No1 batsman till the planet Earth exists 🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@cbschommies but record doesn't suggest this brother. And even sachin sir has told that only virat or Rohit can break his record. And he is also very close of the records. And also one thing that both are best of their generations.
@@cbschommies Hahahaha Lol tera baap h wo Smjha Hutiye 5 saal ruk pta lg jaayeg tko uske baad sachin ko koi nhi puchega Lol tri kch jyada hi kl rhi virat se
@@langesbury Even kohli is better than lara, m not disrespecting anyone but lara said it himself u can google it , he said "i was never as good as kohli is" .
The biggest battle is to battle the devil within yourself. To not play a cover drive in a test match is a real character and get to 241* is the reason why he is the master
I remember convincing parents and friends to miss an internal assessment in a high school back in 2011-12 when Sachin was about to score 100th hundred against Windies in Mumbai Test against the West Indies attack comprising of Rampaul and co. It was a magical innings for me personally as it was one of the first tests I ever watched. Though he got out before the school could even begin at around 10 am that day, and I didn't need to miss anything, the memories of that innings are etched forever in my sporting spectator memory..
In 1986, my friend mentioned about a great future batsman from Mumbai, 13 year old Sachin Tendulkar ! And I just read one day that he was going to play in Hyderabad. I bunked college (the only time in my life) and went to see the little genius. It was a treat to watch ! A small boy playing fluent drives, with the ball kissing the green carpet at Gymkhana grounds, Secunderabad to the boundary ! He scored 40 odd runs, but it was a wonderful smooth innings...And I remember it like yesterday !! Fantastic player !!! The greatest batsman & most humble & disciplined player ever !!
His patience is commendable. His ability to read the ball and convert the outside off stump deliveries into cuts and leg-side drives is what makes him an absolute genius of the game.
Dj prithvi what r u smoking ? Tell me a single instance where dhoni got standing ovation in Lords and australia If he got then it's because of indian fans ...
@@digvijaykole6746 I know I'm killing the joke but if I remember correctly, he did play a cover drive after reaching 200😂 So you should definitely go and Propose Her!
Today in 2022 when I see that virat is struggling for runs then I remember how great Sachin was.....some years ago many of people were saying that Kohli is better than Sachin...I think now they got the answer who is great...Kohli is great no doubt but Sachin is God
Yeah right kohli is good but can never be like sachin ... we should also keep in account that in those days there were no DRS due to that many potential good innings of sachin were wasted
we all are very much blessed bro to live in the time in the time of Sachin . I remembering after going to I eagerly came to home to watch Sachin bating . at that time cricket is passion and made me mad . but now I lost that spirit. now a days I am not even aware about cricket matches , players etc . After retirement of Sachin very rarely watching cricket . Even I write this my eyes went into tears . Sachin love you
Brett Lee, Murali, McGrath, Vaas have dismissed Sachin way more times. The point is, despite all that he has 100 centuries. You can prepare all the stat you want, but when you reach a legendary status, stats don't matter. If you are interested in stats: Sachin scored 1 100 and 6 50s(2 x 90s) vs England since Anderson came. He has an avg of 38 in tests (9 dismissals) and 46 in ODIs (3 dismissals). Anderson is definitely a legend himself, but trying to put one great down to appreciate another for a matter as puny as stat comparison, it means you've understood the game wrong.
Greatness is not just what you are capable of doing, it's also what you can stop yourself doing when the occasion demands it. Sachin's 241* at Sydney without a single cover drive- this is class innings from Master Blaster.
The only player about whom i could think about of touching feet.! the respect not because his invincible batting but his humble nature... I want to be like him as a human being...!
@@mohammedazhar14 people comparing with sachin and calliing him king kohli and there is the thing he is no near sachin. his arrogance mindset needs to fix.
3:47 You can be cool. But you cannot be "chewing gum, declaring an innings" cool as Ganguly. The command he had, the swagger, the charisma as a captain....one of the best!
Forget runs, hundreds, records...this mental strength is what makes him sachin❤..I hardly think if anyone will have what he had in generations to come , let alone this generation.
Making 200 without playing his fav shot "Cover Drive" and celebrating with just a smile on the face and raising his bat towards his team mates. And people compare him with kohli its like comparing rolls royce with a f1 car it can be fast and ruthless but it cant be classy. Greatest player Ever. 🙏
SACHIN and kohli are great players, but the behavior in the field, kohli should learn from SACHIN. Sachin is great, not only by batting, fielding, bowling but also by behavoir. So he is god of cricket.
I always come to this video for motivation. Without playing his favourite shot he make 241.What more can you learn about dedication and that too from the GOD of Cricket. This type of mental strength is needed to succeed in life. Pleasure growing up watching Sachin play. What a legend of the game.
@@anirudhsharma9802 the best there was the best there is n the best there vil ever be.. One n only lionel messi.. U can compare playrs like cr7, pele, maradona etc vid each other but dont compare them vid messi.. Messi is far far ahead of them
I was 15 and used to wake up early in the morning (5 or 5.30 AM) to watch. Let me tell you, this innings was worth it. No matter how much you achieve, critiquing oneself and identifying areas of improvement shows true passion and humility.
Yes.... Now no matter which match is going will not wake up at 5 AM... 😂.. BUT I can too relate.... I think it’s of our generation or not really watching test cricket just T20
Sachin has played in an era where there were no DRS review system and that's why he didn't make 150 international centuries,there were lots of wrong decision made when he was in 90's or else he would've make easily 150 centuries, the great player cricket have ever seen
The best thing about this innings is not that he decided not to play cover drives. It's he maintained it through the innings after scoring 100, 200....
Yes, all of that. And above all that he had discipline!! To avoid playing one of his fav strokes requires a lot of discipline and mental toughness. Even after his century, he resisted playing it. Remarkable player.
This single inning is the tightest slap on the face of so called kohli fans. Kohli is greatest of current generation but Sachin was the greatest of all time.
I am sure King Kohli will return to form soon bro, King Kohli will score lots of runs in the last 2 Test Matches of this series and get back into form for the next few years.
The Aussie cricket success is because of their respect, appreciate and ofcourse sledge/banter towards good cricket. A piece from Sachin on their channel is a treat to the eyes.
@@Sugam098 my brother who is a1996 born knows batshit about cricket and the only reason he recognises the Demi God is by the fact that his elder brother squeals his name out with anticipation when ever he came out to bat. Cricket has never been the same since he retired.
@@duttatarayann966 That's pathetic. But Some people have preferences maybe he loved watching and playing football or tennis. That's okay. But ya cricket is never same after Legends like Dravid, Sachin, Ganguly,Zaheer Kumble, VVS Laxman Sehwag Yuvraj retired That team was legendary of all time and if they have won 2003 world cup dream of dada then it would have been in record book. But that team will never be forgotten :'(
@@Sugam098 He wasn't into sports at all lol. He was basically a cartoon maniac, no not anime, cartoons, Ninja Hatori type lol. Got some interest in sports right when he passed out 10th, in order to mingle with the crowd.
Very true brother.....I must admit the joy of that class and competitiveness related to those genius likes of dravid and elegance of ganguly and laxman,all fab five
This attitude is what sets him apart from others. To resist playing outside the off stump and amass 241 runs is beyond words. That shows his determination and mental strength.
@@sr_27banker007 they weren't clowns, but the way they played without teamwork or passion was just bad. And looking at how the second test is being played, the ones who aren't in the team for the second one seem to be the problem
@@suhshbekma hmmm, that list also included prithvi, vihari, and soon agarwal will be added to that list. Now, thinking that he was against Kohli was just your perception and deep down inside, you know why Kohli's name pops up in your mind.
Every time Sachin scores a century the opposite side is clapping. I do not see this type of appreciation for many players in this or that era. This shows how great he was.
This scenario is currently apt for Virat Kohli as well. For the past 2 years, He has been dismissed on playing outside off balls. I hope he finds a solution for this and comeback stronger. Team India really needs his old form back 🙂
He does not have the variety of shots to do this. Sachin was good at both foots. Virat is just a front foot player. No wonder he has a poor record in England, NZ.
No one can handle pressure and expectation like him .. genius …best there was and best there will be ..he is the greatest ever not one of the but the greatest
I was searching for India Vs Australia 2019 World Cup Highlights and I got this video in recommendations..Such a Nostalgia Moment.. literally got tears in my eyes..Cannot believe that the 90's Era is over and it's never gonna Return♥️
What a legend Rather than fighting He simply ignores that which got him out Many people take revenge on their ego He simply accepted the fact that he is not so good on cover drives in that moment
You can score any number of hundreds.. you can have any number of cups.. but respect.. that too even from your opponents.. aah that’s a different ball game altogether.. GOD in the purest of sense
