Ex-teammate On Sachin Tendulkar’s Revenge On Zimbabwe Star: “Ego Was Destroyed.” Though Sachin Tendulkar was always the calm and composed one. There were times when a particular dismissal tormented the superstar.
Sachin Tendulkar’s dominance on the field established him as one of the greatest cricketers of all time. Tendulkar provided Indian fans with many memorable moments for over two decades. Despite the fact that he always the one to remain calm and composed, there were times when a particular dismissal tormented the superstar. Former India teammate Ajay Jadeja recounted one such incident that occurred during a triangular series in Sharjah in 1998. With a fiery spell, Zimbabwe’s star fast bowler Henry Olonga ripped apart the Indian batting line-up, dismissing Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, and Jadeja. Olonga finish with 4/46 as India was defeated by 13 runs.
Tendulkar injured while negotiating a delivery from Olonga, which appeared out of nowhere. He scored 11 points on 12 balls.

Ajay Jadeja On Sachin Tendulkar’s Revenge On Zimbabwe Star
“When Sachin Tendulkar was out while defending the ball (by Olonga) that night, and until the next match did not take place, he had only one thought. He was unable to sleep. I saw him in another avatar. He sat and waited. He thought what happen was wrong, and after his response, Henry Olonga left reeling “Jadeja stated during a Sony Six discussion.
“People discuss ‘Desert Storm.’ But this inning was special for me… It was a significant one. When you play together, you can understand each other’s emotions. Your ego destroy by someone, and you return the favor in two days.”
Tendulkar unleashed his wrath on Zimbabwe bowlers, including Olonga, who conceded 50 runs in six overs in the series finale. Tendulkar hit an unbeaten 124 off 92 balls to help India chase down a 197-run target in 30 overs.
