Sachin Tendulkar hit his 41st Test century and along with Yuvraj Singh took India to a historic six-wicket victory in the first Test against England at the M.A. Chidambaram stadium in Chennai.
Sachin Tendulkar while talking to TV channel just after the win said the victory is dedicated to all those who laid down their lives in the Mumbai siege.
The pivot around which the Indian batting revolved around was Tendulkar who hit 9 fours in his match-winning knock and hit the winning shot for India with a paddle sweep to fine leg for four off Graeme Swann.
The West Indies hold the record for the highest run chase of 418 for 7, against Australia at St. John's in 2003. India is second in the list for successfully chasing 406 against the West Indies at Port of Spain in 1976. The only other team to score more than 400 runs in the fourth innings is Australia, who scored 404-3 against England at Leeds in 1948.
