Tendulkar's 175 was the sort of innings that just had to win, but fate had other plans
Sachin Tendulkar
175 v Australia
fifth ODI, Hyderabad
In the most important one-day match of his career, Sachin Tendulkar was out for four as India tried to chase down a mammoth Australian total of 359. Six years later, in a game of admittedly less significance than the World Cup final, he found himself at the crease with his team once again needing more than 350 for victory. Again, India fell agonisingly short, but this time it wasn't for lack of a contribution from its talisman.
