    Kapil's Sixes, Azhar’s Brilliance, and the Rise of Tendulkar: Revisiting India's 1990 England Tour

    India Cricket History (When Gooch Scored 456 and Tendulkar Announced Himself to the World): India were touted as favourites when they met England in the semi-final of the 1987 World Cup. What they had not anticipated was how Graham Gooch had prepared for the match. He had practised the sweep against local spinners; swept Maninder Singh and Ravi Shastri en route to 114 in the match; and India were knocked out.  

    Mohammad Azharuddin opted to bowl at Lord's. England declared on 653/4. Yet, things could have been different. Kapil Dev got Michael Atherton early, and Kiran More dropped Gooch off Sanjeev Sharma. Gooch, then 36, went on to score 333, then 123 in the second innings. The match aggregate of 456 runs remains a world record. He scored 752 runs in the three-Test series.
