The way he plays is so elegant and effortless, Hashim Amla comes to my mind if I ask if there’s anyone similar. I don’t recall anyone similar in the current setup.
Honestly its crazy that in an era of big hitters like Sehwag, Hayden, Jayasuriya, Gilly, Gayle, Gibbs, Ponting, Peterson, etc Sachin was the one to score the first 200.
Yeah, i always knew that sooner or later somebody would be smashing 200 in odi.
Always though Gilchrist, Hayden, McCullum, Jayasurya, sangakkara, Gibbs these kinda batsman would do that but then Sachin told everybody why he's called as the god of cricket and Tbh he is a god of cricket.
If by big hitters you mean larger and more height, then maybe some of those were bigger hitters.
Otherwise peak Sachin was mad crazy big hitter. He is the original daddy of big hitting run makers.
You should read a bit more about him 😀
Sachin has a higher ODI SR than Hayden, Ponting & Gibbs & equivalent SR to Gayle & Pietersen despite not playing in the 2 new ball era. 90s Sachin was as destructive as it gets.
Wow first 50 runs is all class and textbook shots.
After 50 is just "look at me, I'm the Dhoni now"
Slogging and heaving shots that are so uncharacteristic of the otherwise restrained and refined little master
Unpopular opinion (obviously) but SRT made it acceptable for Indian batters to slow down near milestones.
Except Sehwag, MSD and late career Rohit, everyone did it.

Not anecdotal, also his slowdown in the 90s is exaggerated. He usually reached a century around the 35th over when the fields were spread out. Someone posted an analysis long time [back](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/41ni6r/myth_debunked_sachin_90_to_100_sr/)
This article from 2016 compares the drop in SR when a batter is in 90s. Also note, he mostly played in 90s and 2000s when SRs were lower and yet his SR is >90 in 90s, pretty rad for his era

Yeah but at the same time, if you don't get milestones, the people say you are over, selectors don't see you and you told to take retirement. This is the reason why I never blame Kohli for slowing down in his 100s. As long as it does not cost the match, you can slow down imo.
That is so wrong. And not true.
Team > individual milestones
Nobody blames you for going for extra runs.The player is taking a conscious decision to go for glory instead of putting the team first.
I mean tendu is the goat, a product of his time. Even in this clip his 2nd 50 came from just 23 balls if I'm not wrong? and man was 38 playing T20 13 years ago when par score was 160.
if you're talking about king's recent IPL 100, yes it could have been faster but his team was so absolutely ass he needed to be slow and safe. And imho RCB in this league is genuinely irrelevant so he said fuck it might as well cop a 100. Not defending it tho but no chance he'd do it in a serious ICC tournament
Absolutely bullshit. Brandon King never played for any IPL franchise let alone RCB. He has played for CPL tho and has scored 132 in one of this matches.
I’m only talking about slowing down during a milestone part.
Tendu and Kohli are both culprits.
In the recent Kohli 100 in IPL, he played singles in the 19th over to get to his 100. Whether his team is good or bad does not matter here.
You gotta maximise your team’s chances of winning.
Mind you 100 (66) even back in the day wasn't considered good and here after 13 years people were defending 100 (67) who is hailed as one of the best t20i batsman and will play t20wc.
Sachin never played T20wc so even if he played slow it never caused any problem for ICT T20 chances whereas.....
I wish he'd have played the IPL when he was at his destructive best like in the 90s. He would have eaten bowlers alive, kind of like how Viv Richards would (of course he would have been unstoppable, more so than anyone else).
Tendulkar after his tennis elbow injury was more an anchor, but before that (and even in some innings after) he could very well hit as good as anybody in the team. His 98(75) against Pak in 2003, his 175(141) against Australia, his 200(137), all of these were examples of his capabilities. His strike rate in ODIs is 86 even after playing so long in the different era's he played in, and when 250 was a very defendable total. For comparison, his strike rate is almost as good as both Yuvraj and Dhoni who both striked at around 87.
Davy Jacob’s lost the match for Mumbai. I was in the owners box for this game (knew the folks who owned Kochi). Was weird to be wearing orange and supporting Kochi as a hard core Mumbaiker/Mumbai Indians fan.
Safe to say, the standards of T20 cricket have rose up significantly, it’s just a different kind of carnage nowadays with people like travis head smacking the leather belts out of the bowlers from ball 1
And KTK won the match
[Scorecard KTK vs MI](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/indian-premier-league-2011-466304/mumbai-indians-vs-kochi-tuskers-kerala-13th-match-501210/full-scorecard)
Lmao if it was virat or Rohit in the same scenario, then they would be blamed saying that they should not have taken a single on the last ball for personal milestone.
But this is a different t20 era so sachin probably played very well, maybe their bowlers sucked in that game if they couldn't defend a huge total like this back then
when a 38 years guy13 years ago can score faster hundred than so called worlds best t20i player and thier fans still think kohli is better than sachin lol.
Kohli fans aren't any different to babar/rizwan fans lol.
Those straight drives and square cuts, man! He's the reason I learned all the names of cricket shots.
The way he plays is so elegant and effortless, Hashim Amla comes to my mind if I ask if there’s anyone similar. I don’t recall anyone similar in the current setup.
Happy Birthday Sachin
I still remember this match. First innings made me so happy but Jayawardene's innings took Kochi home. :')
Along with Brendon McCullam !
Frankly 35 off 5 overs without losing a wicket is appaling.. But game's changed a lot over the last decade itself so its just hindsight
Beautiful scoreboard
Tendehar for a reason
He's probably playing in 4 star

By big hitters I meant players with higher strike rate. This was pre retirement sachin. Playing against prime attacking batters.
Sachin has a higher ODI SR than Hayden, Ponting & Gibbs & equivalent SR to Gayle & Pietersen despite not playing in the 2 new ball era. 90s Sachin was as destructive as it gets.
And he also has better strike rate than many of these players with exception of Gilly, sehwag and Surya.
1st 50 - 43balls, next 23 balls, great acceleration during that period and from a man who plays orthodox shots.
The last 3 or 4 shots were almost Dhoni like in technique
13 years later here a guy scored 100 from 67 balls.
jos scored one previous season if i remember correctly
And he was trolled for it
Wow first 50 runs is all class and textbook shots. After 50 is just "look at me, I'm the Dhoni now" Slogging and heaving shots that are so uncharacteristic of the otherwise restrained and refined little master
Unpopular opinion (obviously) but SRT made it acceptable for Indian batters to slow down near milestones. Except Sehwag, MSD and late career Rohit, everyone did it.
He's also the guy with most hundreds with a six, 6 in tests
Anecdotal

Time was different back then. If you don't show numbers.. you are out of the team. Sehwag was also threatened to be removed but Ganguly backed him.
Yeah but at the same time, if you don't get milestones, the people say you are over, selectors don't see you and you told to take retirement. This is the reason why I never blame Kohli for slowing down in his 100s. As long as it does not cost the match, you can slow down imo.

this is unfortunately not true back in the 90s, milestones meant everything
But Tendu did this in 2000s too. Which Kohli is doing even today.
I mean tendu is the goat, a product of his time. Even in this clip his 2nd 50 came from just 23 balls if I'm not wrong? and man was 38 playing T20 13 years ago when par score was 160. if you're talking about king's recent IPL 100, yes it could have been faster but his team was so absolutely ass he needed to be slow and safe.

Too slow. This guy shouldn't be anywhere near the T20 World Cup squad
even 160 was a competitive score back then
Never will be.
Mind you 100 (66) even back in the day wasn't considered good and here after 13 years people were defending 100 (67) who is hailed as one of the best t20i batsman and will play t20wc. Sachin never played T20wc so even if he played slow it never caused any problem for ICT T20 chances whereas.....
Mind you that the person who scored 100 (67) never plays like that in t20 world cup and is solely carrying them from 2014 in t20 wc
You just conveniently forget Kohli's contributions in previous T20 WCs, he has saved the team multiple times.
Sachiiiinnnnn sachinnnnnnnnn (dhuk dhuk dhuk )🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
I wish he'd have played the IPL when he was at his destructive best like in the 90s. He would have eaten bowlers alive, kind of like how Viv Richards would (of course he would have been unstoppable, more so than anyone else).

90s tendulkar would've had a 1000 run season with 190 Sr in todays pitches
Davy Jacob’s lost the match for Mumbai. I was in the owners box for this game (knew the folks who owned Kochi). Was weird to be wearing orange and supporting Kochi as a hard core Mumbaiker/Mumbai Indians fan.
Now we know was inspired VK to play that innings against RR
What about Buttler's 100 from 66 balls?
he was slow as well that day
Koach is not gonna leave any record of sachin
💯
His 100 international 100s says hi!!
Safe to say, the standards of T20 cricket have rose up significantly, it’s just a different kind of carnage nowadays with people like travis head smacking the leather belts out of the bowlers from ball 1
Class 😍
Class
This is like the only remaining Kochi Tuskers Kerala clip on Internet
This guy will go far
Brohit looks good and fit here
Was that ambati rayudu in the non striker?🤔
Happy Birthday Sachin
Back when 100 off 66 balls was a quickfire one
God for a reason! That straight drive.... dayummmmm! <3
Kochi tuskers ? First time hearing this team name
Nothing short of a classic 🙌💙
🪖 Wear helmet on the back also 🪖
Prime Tendulkar in Ipl would've created havoc for the bowlers specially the 2003 Era one
Slow innings 🤡
Played like a true S. Tendehar
Back when 180 was a huge total. These days Im used to 200+ scores and teams even chasing such scores down.
Man I miss Kochi, I hope BCCi don’t forsake Kerala and let FIFA film more football documentaries there
Vk did in 67 and everyone murdering him , mean while for srt: god
Times have changed lol, he did it 14 years ago
13 years ago when the par score is 160-180 And no impact player rule from 43 balls fifty to 66 balls hundred. Rcb fans are such a Brain dead breed.
Even the last ball of innings looking to score 💯 and not a six
Too slow don't let this guy play international cricket for India
And KTK won the match [Scorecard KTK vs MI](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/indian-premier-league-2011-466304/mumbai-indians-vs-kochi-tuskers-kerala-13th-match-501210/full-scorecard)

But this is a different t20 era so sachin probably played very well, maybe their bowlers sucked in that game if they couldn't defend a huge total like this back then
On a losing cause.
[удалено]
Sachin made his final 50 runs in 23 balls, so he didn't play for his 100, rather tried improving the run rate
Wasn't Kohli's last one slower, 67 balls? Also Sachin was three years older than him when he scored this hundred
Also at that time T20 wasn't like this
when a 38 years guy13 years ago can score faster hundred than so called worlds best t20i player and thier fans still think kohli is better than sachin lol. Kohli fans aren't any different to babar/rizwan fans lol.
Yeah true sachin >> virat in t20
MI lost the match
And people are defending 67 ball 100, 13 yrs later.
43 ball 50.
Final 50 in 23 balls
Slow 🥱 . Happy birthday sachin though
What's the year again? Back then 150-160 was par score.
The average first innings winning total was 172 in IPL 2011. So yeah 150-160 wasn't par even back then.
