Cricket fans in India have a strong sense of nostalgia. Every gritty sixer or tense run-out is indelibly imprinted in the public mind. Especially when a living legend like Sachin Tendulkar is involved.  

Sachin Tendulkar produced one of his best ODI performances on April 22, 1998, when he scored a 143-run knock against Australia to lead India to the Sharjah Cup finals. Even as a sandstorm disturbed the game, Sachin continued to unleash his own storm against the late Shane Warne and Michael Kasprowicz's fearsome bowling attack.

Cricket fans and athletes have started posting sepia-tone images from 'the day,' as well as doodles of the master blaster in full flight, to commemorate the historic day. Sachin looks aloft after hitting Shane Warne for a six, with Adam Gilchrist behind the wickets, in an artwork by Kooster Nitin Sachinist, which pays great tribute to Sachin's knock.
