Event: Australia vs. India, 3rd ODI
Date: October 5, 2007
Place: Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, India
Indian Cricket Team was batting against Australia, chasing the target of 290 set by them. It was last ball of 24th over. Sachin Tendulkar was batting from India's side and Brad Hogg was bowling from the side of Australia. Sachin couldn't hit that last ball as he wanted, and the ball got into the wickets and he was bowled.
Hogg was ecstatic - he had taken the wicket of legend. Next day when both teams were doing net practice, Hogg came to Sachin with a photograph of that wicket and asked him to give an autograph on that photo.
Sachin signed that photo of his dismissal with following words and gave it to Hogg:
And it never did. After that event Sachin and Hogg came face to face on ground more than a dozen times, but Hogg could never take his wicket.
That's how a great artist takes revenge - with the mastery of his art
