The former Indian middle-order batsman Mohammad Kaif recollected the memorable moment as well as famous desert storm knock of legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar.

Ace fielder during his career, Kaif took to social media platform Twitter to relive one of the finest moments in the history of Indian cricket.

Tendulkar had scored a blistering knock of 143 off just 131 balls which included nine boundaries and fives sixes.

However, it is known that the Indian team required 238 from 46 overs to qualify for the finals on the basis of Net Run-Rate. However, India lost that match by 26 runs.

Sachin was on the song:

Sachin innings is regarded as one of the best-ever played in the white ball form. The Master Blaster was also awarded the Man of the Match for his magical knock.

On April 22, his fine knock completed 20 years, however, it is still afresh in the minds of all the die-hard fans.

Also, Australia in their prime turned almost an invincible team. However, Sachin Tendulkar single-handedly takes India over the line.

One more thing that is still fresh in the minds of cricket fans apart from Sachin’s knock is Tony Greig’s commentary.

“20 years have passed since, in the middle of a desert storm and a pulsating run-chase, @sachin_rt Paaji gave a generation of people a night they will never forget. One of the best nights for a cricket fan. Thank you Paaji. Whaadaplayaa,” Mohammad Kaif’s post reads.
