Sachin Tendulkar did not play much of domestic cricket but was able to make his mark for the time that he did. He has the rare achievement of scoring centuries while on debut in all of the major First-class tournaments that he has took part in. He has produced many game changing performances in the domestic circuit.
Here is a look at his top 5 batting efforts.

He hit 30 fours and 4 sixes in this innings that spanned just 214 balls and toyed with all the bowlers that the opposition deployed to bowl to him. Sachin was part of a 100-plus partnership with Hrishikesh Kanitkar and a 200-plus stand with Vinod Kambli (who also got a hundred). Tendulkar started off in a slow fashion but accelerated later on. West Zone (captained by Tendulkar) put on 656 on the board and the East Zone were never able to get near this mammoth total, and were dismissed below 200 in both innings. Sairaj Bahutule took a hat-trick for the West Zone in the 2nd innings, who eventually won the game by an innings and 363 runs. The West Zone dismissed East twice on the same day of the match.
