Even Sachin Tendulkar, who returned as an opener, had to wage a grim battle. A few fluent strokes in between, though, helped him make his way to 52 off 72 balls - the highest individual score in the Indian innings. Tendulkar was dismissed when he tried to to chop medium-pacer Tim de Leede away, only for the ball to bob up straight to the keeper. The innings, incidentally, saw the little master become the highest run-scorer in World Cup history, surpassing Javed Miandad's previous highest of 1083 runs.
