Sachin Tendulkar, unarguably one of the greatest the game has ever seen, made his international debut for India 30 years ago on this day. Playing against the likes of Wasim Akram, Imran Khan and Waqar Younis, the right-hander scored just 15 in his first-ever innings for the country. Incidentally, he was clean bowled by another Test debutant, Waqar Younis, in that match.

From playing 200 Tests to scoring 100 international centuries, from becoming the highest run-getter to winning 2011 Cricket World Cup, Tendulkar has achieved almost everything there is to be achieved. On the day of Tendulkar’s 30th anniversary in Indian cricket, the cricketing world took to Twitter to commemorate the occasion.
