Sachin 5
1989 Sachin Tendulkar, at the age of 15, had become the youngest Indian to score a century on first-class debut, in 1988. A year later he made his Test debut in Pakistan, mixing it with the likes of Kapil Dev, who had started playing for India when Tendulkar was only five years old
1990 At the age of 17 years and 112 days, Tendulkar scored the first of 87 international hundreds. His 110 in the fourth innings at Old Trafford helped India save the Test against England
1991 Tendulkar won Australia over by scoring 114 at the WACA, the bounciest pitch in the world. During the innings Merv Hughes told Allan Border: \"This little ***** is going to get more runs than you, AB.\"
1992 Tendulkar was 19 years and 217 days when he passed the 1000-Test-runs milestone, the youngest to do so. He did it while scoring 111 out of India\'s 227 in Johannesburg. Earlier in the year he had become Yorkshire\'s first-ever overseas signing
1993 After hundreds in three foreign countries, Tendulkar forged his bond with Madras, scoring 165 against England. It was his first home century and it led India to a series victory
