Zimbabwe, led by Alistair Campbell, had posted a challenging 240/7 on a sluggish outfield. Enter Sachin Tendulkar, back at the top of the order, and back to his fluent best. His chanceless 104 (97 balls, 8 fours, 1 six) set the tone for one of the most underrated knocks of his ODI career — aggressive, calculated, and under real pressure. 🧠💥 Even after his dismissal, India still needed 83 off 80 balls, but Ajay Jadeja and Robin Singh held their nerve, sealing the win in 39.2 overs. India qualified for the final with room to spare. 🔔 This match remains a forgotten gem in India’s ODI history — a rare example of net run rate drama from the 90s and Tendulkar's calm under fire. Don't miss this one! 📽️ Watch & relive the most underrated Tendulkar century ever. #IndvsZim #CricketMax #NetRunRateDrama #SachinCentury #IndianCricketHistory #Highlights
