Raj Singh Dungarpur is credited for the selection of Tendulkar for the
Indian tour of Pakistan in late 1989, and that too after just one first
class season. The Indian selection committee had shown interest in
selecting Tendulkar for the tour of the West Indies held earlier that
year, but eventually did not select him, as they did not want him to be
exposed to the dominant fast bowlers of the West Indies so early in his
career.
Tendulkar made his Test debut against Pakistan in Karachi in
November 1989aged just 16 years and 205 days.
He made just 15 runs, being bowled by Waqar Younis, who also made
his debut in that match, but was noted for how he handled numerous
blows to his body at the hands of the Pakistani pace attack.
He looked the embodiment of India's famous opener, Gavaskar, and
indeed was wearing a pair of his pads.
