Sachin Tendulkar’s memorable 136-run innings against Pakistan in the 1999 Chennai Test remains iconic despite India’s loss. Battling severe back pain, Tendulkar led India close to victory but was dismissed with 17 runs needed. After Sachin’s dismissal, India lost their last three wickets for just four runs, collapsing from 254/6 to 258 all out, falling short of the target by just 12 runs. His emotional reaction, commitment, and resilience exemplify a legendary performance under pressure, earning him Man of the Match honors even on the losing side.
