1996
Announcing the end of the Azharuddin era and the beginning of Tendulkar reign, chairman of the national selectors G R Vishwanath told Rediff On The NeT, "It was felt that Azharuddin per- formance as captain was not up to the mark in the last couple of tours, so we opted for a change. And Sachin, who has been India`s vice captain for two seasons now, was the obvious choice to succeed Azhar."
