India piled up a massive 526, with Tendulkar standing tall for more than nine hours in a knock defined by patience, precision and class. The Indian legend remained unbeaten on 248 off 379 balls, striking 35 boundaries in a monumental innings that completely wore down Bangladesh. The innings was not without drama. Tendulkar survived early chances as Bangladesh’s fielders failed to hold on to opportunities. Habibul Bashar dropped a regulation catch at slip, while Rajin Saleh grassed another chance at silly mid-off, allowing the master batsman to make the hosts pay heavily. After beginning cautiously against Mashrafe Mortaza and the new ball attack, Tendulkar gradually expanded his strokeplay. Elegant square drives, commanding front-foot punches and a stunning back-foot straight drive highlighted an innings that blended discipline with flair. Reaching his century carried added significance, as Tendulkar joined an elite group of batsmen to score Test hundreds against every Test-playing nation of that era. Once settled, he dominated proceedings and guided India into complete control. The innings also featured valuable support from Sourav Ganguly, who made an attacking 71, along with stylish contributions from Gautam Gambhir, VVS Laxman and Dinesh Karthik. But the day ultimately belonged to Tendulkar and his unforgettable 248 not out. 🏏 Batting Highlights: Sachin Tendulkar 248* off 379 balls 35 fours in a marathon innings Highest Test score of Tendulkar’s career Over 9 hours at the crease Bangladesh fielding lapses proved costly India posted 526 in Dhaka 📍 Match Info: Bangladesh vs India, 1st Test Dhaka December 10, 2004 #BangladeshVsIndia #SachinTendulkar #Tendulkar248 #TestCricket #CricketHighlights #IndianCricket #BangladeshCricket #DhakaTest #VintageCrick
