Sachin Tendulkar's prowess with the bat has been documented. But his bowling was often instrumental in getting India valuable winning positions and here is one such.

Tendulkar's ability to bowl all kinds of deliveries has made him a difficult bowler to face. Often brought on to give India a breakthrough, the man with the golden arm and touch, often ending up having the batsmen confused and prizing out important wickets.

The 1993 Hero Cup was no different. Kepler Wessels' South Africa needed just six runs from the final over of the match. A controversy over whether Anil Kumble saved the boundary without touching the ropes ended the match in acrimony and heartbreak for South Africa.

But many would also remember that Sachin Tendulkar bowled the final over of that match, did not allow South Africa to score the runs (just three runs was all they could manage) as India romped home.
