Scorecards when India loses and Sachin scores a century!

India loses when Sachin Scores a century? Well, losing 24 matches (when Sachin scores a century) is quite a lot, but then, you are talking about a man who has scored 100 International centuries.

He has fought lone battles at times and sometimes battled pain to get to this ultimate glory. Find it extremely foolish when people speak in negative, about his centuries in losing causes. Below are a few scorecards that reflect the team's contribution when Sachin scored a century. There have been times when even a triple hundred by Sachin would not have saved us the match and then there have been times where he has ran out of partners to even think of scoring a triple hundred.

2. India vs Australia: 22nd April 1998, Sharjah. Historical day for Indian Cricket. Scores 143 to take India to the finals of the Coca Cola Cup. Heads back to the pavilion thanks to a wrong umpiring decision. Any guesses on who the umpire was?
