India made 98 runs off one wicket thanks to the genius of Sachin Tendulkar. A sharp collapse followed the innings advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mohammad Azharuddin, Sanjay Manjrekar and Tendulkar were let fly away. The unexpected loss of wickets started a surge of despondency among the home audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
