From here on, Sachin began opening up as he hit some big shots out of the park and also became the first player to hit 2000 boundaries in ODIs.

Sachin was comfortable stepping out to the spinners as he displayed the class that has made him the highest run getter in the two main formats of the game.

Once he reached his century Sachin increased his scoring rate, a sign of a player who has always put the interest of the team above personal achievements.

But all good things come to an end, finally the masterclass innings ended as he was caught behind off Mortaza. However it was the end of a great knock which will be remembered for taking Sachin to where no cricketer has ventured before. Sachin took 147 balls to score his 114 runs, slow by his standards but no one was complaining.
