Sachin's Famous Innocent yet naughty smile
27th March 1994, India vs New Zealand, Eden Park Auckland: It was the first time Sachin opened the innings in ODI's. Opener Navjot Singh Sidhu got injured and although India were chasing a small victory target of 146 no batsman was willing to open on a seaming Eden Park wicket. But Sachin took the responsibility of opening the innings. And what a happy accident it turned out to be as he smashed 82 off 43 balls. Describing this knock Sachin said "Such innings's are possible only once in a life time. It was like a dream."
