9 Indian dressing room incidents - the closed door secrets

9. When Sachin decided to don the motivator’s hat:

This happened during the World Cup 2003 final against Australia. Indian team had a target of 359! The team was visibly nervous. It was during the half time, when Sachin gathered everyone in the dressing room and said, “Can we look to hit a boundary every over…. If we can so that makes it 200 runs of 50 balls and we would require the rest 160 from remaining 250 balls which does not seem so hard…”. Although India went on to lose the match but there surely was a ‘method to his madness’. This story was told by Harsha Bhogle at IIM.
