India’s victory over England at Chennai in 2008 came in trying circumstances. Batting fourth on a wearing track was hardship enough in itself, but there was the added pressure on the players of the general gloom that had descended on India after the horrific 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai. The win was spectacularly earned, with Viru Sehwag providing a flying start and Yuvraj Singh batting aggressively. Both scored half centuries, but the fulcrum of the batting was Tendulkar who made a superb unbeaten 103. After the match he dedicated the win to the victims of 26/11 and said he was glad to bring some smile on the faces of people of India
