Sachin made his Team India debut in a Test match against Pakistan on November 15, 1989. 

The match was held in Karachi with the cricketer only 16 years old at the time. Sachin soon went on to make his debut in the 50-over format of the game on December 18, 1989.

The legendary cricketer played a key role in the Indian team's historic triumph in the 2011 ODI World Cup. Sachin finished as India's leading run-scorer and the second-highest scorer overall in the tournament, as the hosts defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets in the final. 

The game was held at the Wankhede Stadium.

Sachin continues to hold the record for being the highest run-getter in Tests and ODI cricket, having finished his career in 2013.
