Sachin's Magic !! - Epic last over against South Africa in Hero Cup Semi Final 1993

Magician Sachin's Last over in Hero Cup Semi Final against South Africa. Sachin held on his nerves and showed what a cricketer he is by defending a meager target in the last over. 

Brilliant captaincy in Azharuddin for giving last over to the little master Sachin Tendulkar who made the moment of his own and made India proud. India went on to Win Hero Cup Final beating West Indies.
