Sachin Tendulkar ODI Debut
God Of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar
For Indian cricket, December 18 is a particularly significant day because it was on this date in 1989 that batting legend Sachin Tendulkar competed in his first one-day international match.
In Gujranwala, The Master Blaster entered the field to play his debut India vs. Pakistan match 32 years ago today. But after only playing two balls, Sachin went out for a duck, so it wasn’t a very impressive start.
Astonishing International Career
Although the renowned cricketer’s start was not very promising, it was only a small hiccup in a 24-year career. In 463 ODIs, Sachin Tendulkar amassed 18,426 runs, including an unblemished 200 not out. In ODI games, Sachin struck 49 hundred and 96 half-centuries.
Test Cricket Record
In 200 Test matches, he scored 15,921 runs, with an unbroken 248 run total as his highest total. In Test cricket, he amassed 51 hundred and 68 half-centuries.
How Old was Sachin when he made his ODI debut
When Sachin took the field for his maiden ODI innings, he was 16 years and 8 months old. There were only 16 overs in this match between Pakistan and India. Because Krishnamachari Srikkanth, the captain of India, chose to bowl first after winning the toss.
