'Sachin Tendulkar dispelled all doubts when he hit Waqar Younis for a boundary after being hit on the nose'

Before Sachin Tendulkar played for India, I had heard about him and seen photos of the prodigious youngster. But, the first time I watched him bat was when he travelled to Pakistan for his maiden tour in 1989 and he had made his debut at Karachi. This young boy was up against the likes of Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram and Imran Khan.
