Tendulkar's top ten

194* vs Pakistan in Multan, 2004

The game famously came to be known as the attack of the clones, as Sehwag hit 309, the first and only triple century by an Indian, and Tendulkar knocked 194 not out.

Tendulkar's innings was cut short only six runs from a double hundred as India decided to declare at 675 for five. The declaration spurred huge controversy and Tendulkar made his disappointment public, but no one could take away the genius from his innings.

Tendulkar carefully chose his percentage scoring areas and targeted specific bowlers. He preferred the acres of space available to him just backward of square on the leg side, thus showing that maturity had taken over the reckless streak in him.
