No one could see future or back in 1989, on this day, tickets of India vs Pakistan match would have been the most demanded ones in cricket history. It was the first game of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, one of the greatest to play the gentleman's game. No one knew this 16-year-old will be known as 'God of Cricket' in future. 

It was the start of a train engine which was going to run for next 24 years carrying the burden of expectations of his countrymen and pulling the bogie, his teammates, alone without running out of fuel.

The day is special and Sachin remembered the day on his official Twitter account. He wrote, “This day, every year, brings back so many memories of the day I 1st represented India. It was an honour to play for the country and be able to represent India for 24 years. #TBT #ThrowbackThursday.”

Even BCCI took to Twitter to celebrate the legend. “On this day ???????????? Rewind the clock ???? 1989 - Sachin made his Test debut 2013 - Walks out to bat for one final time #legend #TeamIndia," they wrote.

Sachin scored only 15 runs in his debut game but his courage to face pacers like Imran Khan, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis despite being a teenager showed he has something special in him. He sure did.
