2004 Declaration Leaves Tendulkar at 194 Despite Win

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra revealed that Sachin Tendulkar was visibly unhappy after Rahul Dravid declared India's innings while Tendulkar was at 194 not out during the Multan Test against Pakistan in 2004. This decision, which left Tendulkar just six runs short of a double century, has been one of the most controversial moments in Indian cricket history. Chopra noted that the decision wasn't solely Dravid's, as then-injured captain Sourav Ganguly was also part of the think-tank. Despite the controversy, India won the match, with Virender Sehwag scoring a historic 309. Dravid later mentioned he wouldn't have declared had he known the match would end in four days.
