Who does not know Sachin Tendulkar, the former opener of the Indian team? There is more than one record in batting in the name of Sachin Tendulkar. But very few people would know that Sachin Tendulkar has also bowled many times. In 1993, the semi-final match of the Hero Cup was played between South Africa and India. Team India had a very poor start in this match. 4 wickets of the Indian team had fallen for 53 runs. Team India could score only 195 runs in this match in 50 overs and South Africa was given a target of 196 runs to win.

Chasing the target, South Africa's team had lost 3 wickets for 60 runs. For South Africa, Hudson scored 62 runs in 112 balls and handled his team's innings. The bowlers bowled very well in this match from India and it became very difficult for the batsmen of South Africa's team to score runs. In the final of the match, the African team needed 6 runs to win and 2 wickets were left.

At that time, Team India's captain Mohammad Azharuddin, taking a surprising decision, sent Sachin Tendulkar to bowl. On the first ball of Sachin's last over, the batsman played a shot at extra cover and got out in pursuit of taking the second run. The batsmen could not score any runs on the second and third balls. 1 run was scored on the fourth ball and the fifth ball turned out to be empty.

Now Africa needed 4 runs to win. But Sachin Tendulkar gave only one run. In this way, in the last over, Tendulkar bowled brilliantly and gave Team India victory in the semi-finals. This match was very exciting.
