Sachin at World Cups

1992: Still only 18, Tendulkar came to grips quickly on the bouncy surfaces of Australia. He won the man-of-the-match award in back-to-back games against Pakistan and Zimbabwe in winning causes. 

M: 8; Runs; 283; Hs: 84; Avg: 47.16; 50s: 3 

1996: At the peak of his powers, Tendulkar mastered most bowling attacks and led the team to the semis. His counter-attacking 90 against Australia and his ton at the Kotla against 
Sri Lanka were absolute gems. Finished as top-run-getter. 
M: 7; Runs: 523; Hs: 137; Avg: 87.16; 100s: 2; 50s: 3 

1999: Came to the tournament after a lengthy injury lay-off and had to rush to India after the first match against India after his father died. He scored a hundred on return against Kenya, but wasn't his fluent self.

M: 11; Runs: 673; Hs: 152; Avg: 61.18; 100s: 1; 50s: 6 

2007: Scored a scorching 50 against 
Bermuda, but looked insecure and scratchy at No. 4. 
M: 3; Runs: 64; Hs: 57*; Avg: 32; 50s: 1 

Total: M: 36; Runs: 1796; Hs: 152; Avg: 57.93; 100s: 4; 50s: 13.
