Sachin, Sydney and a lesson in restraint

Sydney: Sydney is many things to the world. Sachin Tendulkar bats en route his unbeaten 241 against Australia in the New Year’s Test in Sydney, 2004. I went on to remain not out in the second innings as well and was happy to win the challenge I had taken up with my brother.” A genius exercising restraint and it wasn’t even a planned tactic — “there and then” he decided that he wasn’t going to give the Aussies what they wanted. Virat Kohli still went for the cover drive, Rishabh Pant still went for the glory shot and Rohit Sharma, after showing so much restraint initially, finally gave in to temptation. Sydney is a chance for redemption for the batters; a chance to square the series and retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy, and if all of that isn’t enough inspiration they will, just like us all, always have Tendulkar and his 241 not out to fall back on.
