The second place of the World Test Championship in Twice has not obtained a respect in England since 2007. Moreover, their performance at Old Trafford is not promising. India still has to win a single test match in Manchester.
While the Cricket team of India is preparing for the 4th India vs England Test Match in Old Trafford in Manchester, a surprising fact has noticed. It goes against what people today think about Indian batting stars. Many would think of Virat Kohli or MS Dhoni. But neither of them was the last Indian who scored a century on this famous English field. That honor is of Sachin Tendulkar, a legend from years ago.
The great start of a young player
In 1990 a young Sachin Tendulkar, only 17, wrote history. He received his first test in Old Trafford. He then showed skills his age, compared to a cool English bowling team. Tendulkar scored 119 points without being in the fourth innings. This helped India to pull the competition. His play, full of grit and style, was not just his first international hundred. It also saved his team from the problems and made a lasting impression on fans everywhere.
Manchester’s long century wait
Since Tendulkar’s great game more than 30 years ago, no Indian Slagman has scored a century in a test match in Old Trafford. This is surprising because there have been many tours and great batters who played there. Even stars like Virat Kohli, who played a test in Old Trafford in 2014, could not do much and score 0 and 7. MS Dhoni played well for 71 runs in the same test. But he did not reach a century either.
Old Trafford’s mystery for Indian batters
The record of India in Old Trafford has been difficult. Since their first match in 1936, the team has not won a test competition in nine attempts. This lack of success, without for so long, shows how difficult it is for batters in Old Trafford.
While the current Indian team is trying to win in Manchester, this will be long for a century in their mind. Everyone will see if the Indian batters can end this for almost 35 years. They will try to join Sachin Tendulkar to the list of Indian Centurions at Old Trafford. He is the only one on that list.
