Tendulkar's 114 at the WACA — Cricket's Toughest Pitch, 1992

Australia vs India

1992-02-03

On the fastest pitch in the world, an 18-year-old Sachin Tendulkar made 114 off 161 balls against Craig McDermott, Merv Hughes and Mike Whitney while teammates wilted. India lost the Test by 300 runs but Tendulkar's innings became a generational reference point — he himself rates it among his very best.
