In honor of Sachin Tendulkar’s 50th birthday, the West Stand at the renowned Sharjah cricket stadium has been renamed as the ‘Sachin Tendulkar Stand.’ A special ceremony was held on Monday to commemorate the occasion, which coincided not only with the batting icon’s birthday but also with the 25th anniversary of his remarkable performance of scoring back-to-back centuries against Australia in 1998, known as the ‘Desert Storm,’ in front of a packed stadium.

Sachin Tendulkar’s outstanding performance in the final match of the Coca-Cola Cup, a triangular series between India, Australia, and New Zealand, held on April 22 and 24, 1998, is widely recognized as the ‘Desert Storm’. He scored an impressive 143 and 134 in these two matches, which has been recorded in the history books. Tendulkar has scored a total of 49 centuries in One Day Internationals (ODIs) across 34 stadiums, but his exceptional performance at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, where he scored the twin hundreds in April 1998, remains a memorable and celebrated achievement among his fans worldwide.
