Headingley Cricket Ground: The teams of India and England will face each other at Headingley ground on August 15. Team India will play the match on this ground after a long time. Do you know the memories of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar are associated with this ground? At the age of just 19, Sachin had scattered his flames on this ground. Sachin made all the records in the year 1992 by participating in county cricket. Let’s take a look at them.
Sachin Tendulkar went to play county cricket in the year 1992
India’s greatest batsman Sachin Tendulkar took part in county cricket in 1992. Sachin was just 19 when he signed a contract to play with Yorkshire County. Yorkshire great Geoffrey Boycott, who scored more than 8000 runs for England in Test cricket, played a key role in taking Sachin to county cricket.
Sachin was the first foreign player to play for Yorkshire
County team Yorkshire had never played a foreign player before 1992 at Headingley Ground. Sachin Tendulkar made this unique record as soon as he stepped on the field. Yorkshire’s first match that year was against Hampshire. Sachin scored 86 runs in the match. In that match, even legendary bowlers like Malcolm Marshall in the opposition team were deranged by Sachin.
1070 runs scored in a season
Playing for Yorkshire in the 1992 county cricket season, Sachin scored 1070 runs in 16 matches, including 1 century and 7 half-centuries. During this his average was around 47. The Master Blaster later said several times that the experience of the 1992 county season helped him become a better batsman.
The third test match between India vs England is going to be held at Yorkshire ground from 25 August. Now it will be interesting to see how Team India is able to perform on this ground associated with the memories of Sachin’s county cricket. However, if we look at the past records, it seems that the Indian team has a big lead over England.
