Tendulkar first picked the 143-run knock that he played against Australia in Sharjah (1998) which didn't help India win the match but made them qualify for the final of the Coca Cola Cup. The former cricketer then named the 134 run knock that he played just two days later in the final against the Aussies and helped India defeat Australia to win the Coca Cola Cup. Moreover, this knock came on Tendulkar's birthday which made it much more special.

These two knocks are called ‘Desert Storm’ knocks and they still give many Indian cricket fans a huge smile. Such was the impact and quality of these knocks that people still cherish it even after 22 years. The final knock that Tendulkar named was the sensational 98 runs that he scored against arch-rivals Pakistan in the 2003 Cricket World Cup which helped India beat the Men in Green by six wickets and extend their World Cup record against Pakistan to 4-0.
