It was on November 15, 1989, a teenager named Sachin Tendulkar made a debut for India against Pakistan. While most of the kids might have just crossed the fences of the schools and colleges, Tendulkar already made a debut against Pakistan and was taking on the pace batteries like Abdul Qadir, Imran Khan and Waqar Yunis in Karachi. The moment was truly unforgettable for the Master Blaster and still maintains a special place in the archives of his memories. Reliving his first day of the Test match, Sachin Tendulkar took to social media and wrote an emotional post. Sachin Tendulkar Lauds Virat Kohli As ‘One of Greatest Cricketers’; Refuses to Compare Himself with Kohli.

He also went on to share the pictures of himself batting during the match. “This day, every year, brings back so many memories of the day I 1st represented India. It was an honour to play for the country and be able to represent India for 24 years. #tbt#throwbackthursday,” read the caption of the snaps.
