Fans of the sport were delighted to see one of yesteryear's favourite superstars in action once again during the ongoing Road Safety World Series when Sachin Tendulkar took the field to captain India Legends to a comfortable win over South Africa Legends. The Sachin-led side won the opening contest by 61 runs.
Batting first, India posted 217/4 in 20 overs after Stuart Binny smashed an unbeaten 82-run knock off just 24 balls. Meanwhile, coming out to open, Sachin managed to score 16 runs. However, one particular shot that he played in the fourth over of the innings has fans going gaga over him.
Facing former pace legend Makhaya Ntini, Sachin lofted the South African towards the long-on boundary fence and the ball rocketed towards the boundary. As soon as he hit the shot, the fans inside the Kanpur stadium erupted in joy. The pacer eventually was the one to take his wicket, dismissing him in the sixth over for 16 runs.
A fine half-century from Stuart Binny and brilliant spin bowling spells from Rahul Sharma and Pragyan Ojha helped India Legends defeat South Africa Legends by 61 runs in the Road Safety World Series opener on Saturday.
