New Delhi: On 15 November 1989, Sachin Tendulkar made his international debut and went on to "inspire billions" across the globe with his impressive batting skills.
Sachin made his international Test debut against Pakistan that was played at the National Stadium in Karachi. In the same match, Salil Ankola and Pakistan's pacer Waqar Younis had also made their debuts.
The right-handed batsman managed just 15 runs in his debut innings before he was castled by Waqar Younis. Tendulkar, however, did not get to bat again in the Test match which ended in a draw.
Coincidently, on November 15, 2013, Tendulkar went out to bat for the last time in international cricket during a Test match against the West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In his last international innings, Tendulkar managed 74 runs before he became the priced scalp of Narsingh Deonarine. India, under MS Dhoni's leadership, went on to win the match by an innings and 126 runs.
"On This Day 1989 - Sachin Tendulkar made his debut in international cricket. 2013 - The legend walked out to bat for Team India one final time. Thank you for inspiring billions across the globe," BCCI said in a tweet.
