On this day, November 15, 1989, one of the greatest batsmen, Sachin Tendulkar, debuted for Indian national team against arch-rival Pakistan in Karachi.
He scored 15 runs and was bowled out by Waqar Younis.
Sharing the memory of his first day as a national cricketer, Tendulkar wrote on his Twitter handle: “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.”
