Its bit difficult to recreate the fan experience of who watched at Eden Gardens or TV or heard on radio. Yet, here you go

in 1993, Hero Cup SF. That final over!

I was at this game. My abiding memory of that night was the old Eden Gardens tradition of burning newspaper when India wins. The burning newspaper torches were like a million strong posse of fireflies against the night sky.

Oh wow. Great to know. This tradition was scary. Luckily never had any major incident or injuries.
But what a feeling it must have been that night.

With the bat, Sachin was best employed at the beginning of the innings while with the ball, he reserved his best for the last. The genius in him ensured he was equally adept at igniting (his team's prospects) as well as extinguishing (the opponents chances) !
