Century No. 18- 177 vs England, Trentbridge- Sachin's second ton in the tour. Amazing shots especially the cover drives against Cork. And his form continued to the second innings as well.

#RARE# 22 MINUTE VIDEO OF THE INNINGS
Century No. 19 - 110 vs Srilanka, Colombo - This was sachin's first match as captain and he sparkles with a great knock. But unfortunately apart from him nobody else contributed and the match was eventually lost.

The video is a tad short, but I guess it has all the boundaries...
Century No. 20- 114 vs South Africa: Sachin's first century against South Africa, a team against which Sachin doesn't boast his best average but has some great innings to speak of.

Century No. 21- 169 vs South Africa:- Another great century against South Africa. The innings was so great that ,Allan Donald couldn't stop applauding. This was what he had to tell about the innings.

The best knock I can remember him playing was at Newlands in 1997, when he was just unstoppable. We only got him thanks to a blinding catch by Adam Bacher off a hook shot, otherwise he would have gone on and on. Under Hansie Cronje we studied hard for a Tendulkar weakness. We thought he might be vulnerable, especially early in his innings, to the ball that is bowled from wide of the crease, coming back in off a good length. He might then be bowled through the gate, or be lbw, especially on English wickets. We also tried peppering him with short balls - not many top-class batters like that - but it didn't really seem to bother him.
Century No. 22- 104 vs Zimbabwe, Benoni:

The video is the only available on the net. It's just for a minute though. Quite a rare one i guess...
Century No. 24: 143 vs Srilanka and Century No. 25: 139 vs Srilanka are unavailable ( these are the innings from the infamous 1996/97 series where Srilanka scored a mammoth 952 runs)
Century No. 26: 148 vs Srilanka , Mumbai: Sachin made it 3 in a row against the Srilankans albeit this time in his home ground

#RARE# VIDEO this. But again the quality is horrendous.
The next five centuries from Sachin were all against one opposition, the aussies. No one dominated the side like he did in those three months and each of the five innings were classics in their own right
Starting off Century No. 27: 155* vs Australia, Chennai: A classic case of a rampaging champion winning his side the game. It was the battle of wits between Sachin and Warne and in the end it was the latter who was outwitted
This was what Ian Chappell had to say of the innings

It's rare enough that in the middle of the fourth day a Test match is evenly poised. To then have one team's champion facing his opposite number with the game hanging by a thread is heaven for a cricket fan. That's the way it happened in Chennai in 1998. Sachin Tendulkar was facing Shane Warne with India and Australia both battling for supremacy. The defining moment came just after lunch, when Warne went round the wicket with Tendulkar having just passed his fifty. In the lead up to the Test, Tendulkar had approached former Indian allrounder Ravi Shastri and asked for advice on what to do when Warne adopted this ploy. Shastri told Tendulkar: "You must find an attacking method to combat Warne when he comes round the wicket." Tendulkar then spent four days in the nets with a spot outside leg stump scuffed and former Indian leggie L Sivaramakrishnan bowling round the wicket into the footmarks. When Warne made his move round the wicket, Tendulkar took to his offerings like a kid offered a lolly-shop gift voucher. A brace of sixes and fours from lofted sweep/pull shots to the midwicket region convinced Warne to abort this tactic. Tendulkar's preparatory work had proved to be a masterstroke. Tendulkar won the battle and India went on to win the war by 179, just a few runs in excess of the maestro's second innings contribution of 155 not out. This was a battle of the champions to savour.
Century No. 28: 177 vs Australia, Bangalore: Sachin notched up another ton in the third test of BG Trophy. Sachin scored 177 of 281 balls, an innings which contained 29 fours and 3 sixes. On the second day morning especially he was impossible to contain, when he scored 60 off 64 balls.

Sachin's overall stats for the series read - 446 runs in 5 innings with a staggering average of 111.50
