19 years since Sachin Tendulkar's 'desert storm' in Sharjah
Playing against Australia in Sharjah on April 22, 1998, Sachin Tendulkar scored 143 runs to ensure India's spot in the final of the tri-series. The match was interrupted by a sandstorm and the innings came to be popularly known as 'the desert storm'. Tendulkar went on to score another century two days later to help India win the tournament.
