A record chase of 387 runs loomed at India in the fourth innings and while Sehwag's rocket-paced 83 runs set up the game for India, Sachin's unbeaten knock of 103 runs delivered the knock-out punch. It was a flawless innings which took the match away from the visitors. A determined Sachin reached his 41st hundred with a boundary which simultaneously brought India the winning runs. Overjoyed, Tendulkar leapt in the air, pumped his fist and relished a memorable win. All talk of him not measuring up in crunch situations looked like feeble excuses now.
