Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is back in Australia to take part in the Bushfire charity game dubbed as the ‘Big Appeal’ that will see several legends like Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting, Wasim Akram, Courtney Walsh, Adam Gilchrist come together as a part of a small contribution to those affected by the recent Bushfires in Australia.
Tendulkar’s penchant for Australian conditions and its bowlers is well celebrated and documented. It was in this very country where a young 18-year-old prodigy quashed even the slightest of doubts that anyone would have had on his skills and his eventual greatness. It was his twin hundreds in that 1991-92 series- especially the one in Perth- that really set the writing on the wall that, ‘here is a guy who is going to rule world cricket for the next 20-22 years.” And he did just that.
But before Perth, Tendulkar had also scored a hundred at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Tendulkar played a plethora of great innings at the iconic SCG- the best being his 241 not-out in 2004. It was an innings of defiance, patience, determination, grit and the unrelenting desire to succeed. Tendulkar didn’t play a single cover-drive in that innings as he decided to curb his off-side play because of the past dismissals in the series.
Sachin Tendulkar revisits SCG dressing room
And, so when he has had so many wonderful memories at the SCG, how was it possible that Tendulkar would miss out from the chance of revisiting the very dressing room where he plotted and celebrated a plethora of successful plans to play the innings that he eventually played.
Tendulkar took to his Instagram account to share pictures of the dressing room where he also revealed his favorite spot.
“This was my favorite corner in the SCG dressing room. Memories came flooding back today: @yuvisofficial” Sachin Tendulkar wrote on his Instagram account.
Coming back to the Bushfire charity game, Tendulkar will be coaching Ponting XI. The Master Blaster revealed how one phone call from former Australian bowler Brett Lee was enough to convince him to take part in the charity game.
“I received a message from Brett Lee. Brett said that Kevin (Roberts, Cricket Australia’s chief executive) would like to be in touch with you” Sachin Tendulkar said as quoted by cricket.com.au.
