“I remember the series against Australia when Sachin didn’t play a single cover drive till he reached his double century,” Lara, Trinidad & Tobago mentor, said when he was asked about Tendulkar’s best moment.

Tendulkar went on to score 241 at the SCG in 2004. “I don’t think I would have been too successful in T20 as I was a batsman who needed time to settle down,” he admitted.
