Former India cricketer <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/he-inspired-me-to-be-the-cricketer-i-am-r-ashwin-reveals-sachin-tendulkars-role-in-shaping-his-career/" title="Sachin Tendulkar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sachin Tendulkar</a> is widely regarded as the 'God of Cricket' due to his unprecedented batting figures. In his 24 years of cricketing career, he achieved a lot with his bat. In One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and Tests, he is still the highest run-scorer after more than nine years of his retirement.

Serving the nation for 24 years, the 'Master Blaster' played a crucial role in uplifting the standard of the sport in the country.&nbsp;

In 2008, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) launched the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" title=" Indian Premier League " target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League </a>(IPL) and Tendulkar was roped in by Mumbai Indians (MI) to lead the side. In the initial two seasons, he couldn’t perform according to his reputation, and it affected MI’s performance and they failed to see themselves in the knockout round.

In the third instalment of the league, he looked solid with his bat and clinched the Orange Cap, amassing 618 runs with five fifties in 15 matches at a strike rate of 132.61. In his six-year career for MI, the veteran played excellently and carved out some remarkable knocks for his team.

Talking more about it, here are the top five IPL innings of Sachin Tendulkar

5. 68 off 45 vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), 2009

In the second edition of the IPL, MI locked horns with the Bendon McCullum-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), at St George’s Park, Port Elizabeth. At the toss, luck favoured Mumbai as their skipper Tendulkar won the toss and chose to bat first. Along with his opening partner, Sanath Jayasuriya, the MI captain came out to open the innings for the team.

Playing his role efficiently, the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/lara-was-great-and-ponting-was-brilliant-but-sachin-is-the-greatest-sourav-ganguly-reflects-on-master-blasters-greatness/" title=" Master Blaster " target="_blank" rel="noopener">Master Blaster</a> delivered an explosive start to the team. With the Sri Lanka legend, he stitched a 127-run partnership that helped the team to be in a dominating position. Leading from the front, he contributed 68 runs to his team off just 45 deliveries, with 10 boundaries (six fours and four maximums).

In the end, KKR were tasked to achieve a colossal target of 188 due to Tendulkar’s fine knock. The massive total powered MI bowlers to wrap up the opponents for 95. For his superb batting show, Tendulkar also received the second Player of the Match of the season.

4. 72 off 52 vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK), 2010

In 2010, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/bhajji-you-have-seen-my-good-side-but-if-i-want-i-can-be-rude-harbhajan-singh-recalls-moment-when-sachin-got-angry-at-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sachin Tendulkar</a> dominated bowlers throughout the tournament with his brilliant batting skills. At the end of the competition, he ended up as the highest run-getter and brought the prestigious Orange Cap home. The leadership responsibility brought the best out in him.

After claiming three wins in their first four games, Mumbai faced Chennai Super Kings at their home venue, Brabourne Stadium. In the match, the hosts thumped the visitors by five wickets, riding on their skipper’s phenomenal knock of 72 runs off 52 deliveries. During his fabulous innings, Tendulkar scored nine boundaries (eight fours and a maximum).

Earlier, after winning the toss, MI chose to field first and their decision backfired when CSK piled up 180/2, with the help of Suresh Raina’s swift 83* (52) and S Badrinath’s steady 55* (45). Chasing the humongous score, the legend worked for MI as a bulwark against CSK bowlers and left his team in a comfortable position to win the game before getting out.

3. 74 (44) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK), 2012

Ahead of the 2012 IPL, Tendulkar handed over the MI captaincy to Harbhajan Singh. With this move, it was speculated that the veteran will bat freely in the IPL edition. Compared to the previous two seasons, he failed to be much dominant against bowlers this time but delivered some exquisite match-winning innings for his side.

In one of the crucial matches of the tournament against the arch-rivals CSK, he exuded confidence with his bat and helped Mumbai to grab a two-wicket victory in the last-ball thriller. At the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai hosted CSK in the 49th match of the competition. Harbhajan Singh, the MI captain, won the toss and elected to bowl first.&nbsp;

Riding on their batters’ magnificent show, CSK accumulated a decent total of 173/8 at the end of their innings. To pull off the target, MI were banking on their key batters Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma to turn up against the CSK bowlers.

Utilising his experience and skills, the veteran gave a solid start to his team along with Rohit Sharma, after the early wicket of James Franklin. With a young Rohit, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/game-will-take-care-of-you-in-future-ajinkya-rahane-recalls-sachin-tendulkars-morale-boosting-talk-from-retirement-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tendulkar</a> stitched a 126-run partnership that played a vital role in MI’s triumph on the last delivery of the game.

2. 89* off 59 against Rajasthan Royals (RR), 2010

In the third edition of the marquee league, Tendulkar’s marvellous form with the bat became a headache for MI’s rivals. While his team reaped the benefits of his batting exploits and topped the IPL points table with 10 triumphs and four losses in 14 contests.

At the end of the tournament, MI supporters couldn’t see their team lift the trophy but their captain gave plenty of memorable moments with his bat. In the 45th match against Rajasthan Royals, he played his best knock of the season in a winning cause. Scoring an unbeaten 89 off just 59, he helped MI to score 174/5 in 20 overs.

Against quality bowlers like Shane Warne and Shane Watson, he looked amazing with his bat. With his breathtaking batting effort, MI got a 37-run triumph and the skipper also became the recipient of the Player of the Match award at the end of the day.

1. &nbsp;100* off 66 against Kochi Tuskers Kerala (KTK), 2011

After an incredible World Cup campaign for India in 2011, Tendulkar continued his form in the cash-rich league as well. Donning the MI jersey, he delivered some remarkable batting numbers for his side. In the same competition, he also played his best IPL knock against the then debutant Kochi Tuskers Kerala (KTK).

After winning the toss, the KTK skipper Mahela Jayawardene invited MI to bat first at the Wankhede Stadium. Beginning the innings for MI in style, Tendulkar played some great strokes and notched up an unbeaten 100 off just 66 deliveries, with 12 fours and three maximums.

His swashbuckling knock went in vain as MI bowlers failed to defend the total of 182. In the contest, KTK batters stole the match with the help of spunky knocks from Brendon McCullum, and Ravindra Jadeja. Despite his team’s loss in the match, Tendulkar's knock was lauded by many.
