When Tendulkar got angry… If he did this again, he would send him directly to India

Sachin Tendulkar, who holds the record for most runs and centuries in international cricket, is also known for his calm nature. He has rarely been seen getting angry and getting annoyed at fellow players. However, 23 years ago on a tour of Australia, Sachin got angry with a young player of Team India. Sachin mentioned this incident in a program of the software company Infosys.
Sachin told, 'We were in Australia and I was the captain of the team. We also had a junior player with us. He was touring overseas for the first time and he got a bit careless. He was paying more attention to the crowd while fielding. Where there was one run, he used to give two runs. I called him and put my hand on him. No one knew what I was saying to that player. I told him that if you do this again, then I will send him home. You will not go to the hotel, you will go back to India.
Sachin said, 'I explained to him that when you play for your country then there should not be any kind of negligence. This is a great honour. There are crores of people who want to be in your place and that is why don't take it lightly. Although Sachin did not tell the name of that player. Young players like Hrishikesh Kanitkar, Vijay Bhardwaj, and MSK Prasad were included in the team on that Australia tour of India.
On that tour, Australia had a clean sweep of 3-0 in the Test series against Team India. The tour took place from 1999–2000. The captain of the Australian team was Steve Waugh. The Test series was followed by a triangular ODI series. Apart from India and Australia, Pakistan also participated in it. The Indian team could not reach the finals.
Team India's winning percentage has been very low under Sachin's captaincy. Under his captaincy, the team has been able to win only about 31% of the matches. Sachin took command of Team India for the first time in 1996. He was the captain of the team for only a few years. After him, Sourav Ganguly became the captain of the team.
Tendulkar has captained India in 25 Tests and 73 ODIs. The team has won 4 Tests under his captaincy. 9 are losers. While 12 have been drawn. Under his captaincy, the team's winning percentage was the lowest at 31. On the other hand, in ODIs, the team has won 23 matches under his leadership. 43 have been lost. There was a tie. While there was no result in 6 matches.
