Heartbreak Hundred: A stupendous innings by Sachin Tendulkar wasn’t enough to see India home in the fifth ODI against Australia in Hyderabad on Thursday. Chasing 350, India fell short by three runs in a thriller.

Sachin Tendulkar watched one of his most domineering ODI hundreds, a 141-ball 175, go in vain as India lost a cliff-hanger to Australia by three runs in the fifth match of the seven-match series in Hyderabad on Thursday.

Chasing Australia’s imposing 350, Tendulkar’s innings took India to within 19 runs of a win, before he tried to paddle-scoop Clint McKay, only to find Nathan Hauritz stationed at short fine leg who pouched it running back.

Earlier, when he reached seven, Tendulkar became the first cricketer to make 17,000 runs in ODIs. It was his 435th match. READ AT THE HINDU
