Sachin made thunderous debut to first class cricket hitting centuries in Ranji, Duleep and Irani trophies during his debut matches. Ever since he and kambli put on a record breaking 664 run partnership in a school match the selectors had an eye on him. Getting in to a star studded Mumbai team was never an easy job to do. But due to his breathtaking performance in 1988/89 season scoring 3 centuries in five innings including two double centuries one of them was a triple hundred, getting out only one time and averaging 1032, he was chosen to play for Mumbai. During his debut in the ranji trophy match against Gujarat he scored a century making him the youngest to do so. Centuries in debut in all three domestic tournaments earned him a national call and it was a bloody debut for sachin, he played his first test against Pakistan in Karachi in November 15 1989 facing the likes of legendary Imran khan, Wasim akram, Abdul quadir, and fiery Waqar younis. On the final day of last test of his first series he got hit on the nose by Waqar Younis. He declined the medical assistance, just whipped of the blood and continued playing. He got a courageous 57 which helped India to draw the match. The match showed both his talent and his passion for the game, it was truly an amazing debut.
