Sachin Tendulkar rolls back the years with fiery innings during Indian Legends vs England Legends clash - Watch

Legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar once again showed that he is ‘God of cricket’ as he played a fiery innings for Indian Legends in the Road Safety World Series 2022 match against England Legends on Thursday in Dehradun.

49-year-old Tendulkar, who is leading Indian Legends, turned back the clock as he smashed 40 off just 20 balls to give his team a flying start after they were put in to bat first at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. His knock consisted of 3 fours and 3 sixes and came at a strike rate of 200.

Tendulkar opened his knock with a classy four off Stephen Parry through the backward square-leg region, but in the third over, the Master Blaster came out all guns blazing as he smashed fast bowler Chris Tremlett for two sixes, followed by a four.

In the process, Sachin also played a hook shot, which was a sight to behold for the fans.

Watch the highlights of Sachin’s innings:

With his brilliant innings, Sachin showed that class is permanent as even after 9 years since retiring from international cricket, the legendary batter is playing like he never hanged his boots.

However, Tendulkar failed to hit half-century as he fell prey to leggie Chris Schofield and gave a simple caught and bowled to him.

After Sachin departed, Suresh Raina and Yusuf Pathan continued the carnage with a 40-run stand as the latter was the aggressor, scoring 27 runs in the 11 balls he faced. Both batters fell in the same over but England Legends had Yuvraj Singh to deal with. The southpaw remained unbeaten on 31 off 15 balls as India Legends ended with a mammoth score of 170/5 in their 15 overs, with five overs being reduced from each innings after an extensive delay due to rain.

Premier League: Ben Mee's header helps Burnley register win over Crystal Palace

Ben Mee marked his 300th league appearance for Burnley by clinching a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace on Monday and keeping his team in an unexpected push for European qualification. A three-year wait for a goal ended for Mee with a header from Ashley Westwood’s free kick in the 62nd minute, moving Burnley up to eighth in the English Premier League — seven points from the Champions League places with six games to go. Burnley was without Jay Rodriguez — the match-winner against Watford on Thursday — and due to a lack of options Sean Dyche could replace him with only defender Erik Pieters. “Coming into the night with a depleted squad, with only one senior boy on the bench, and playing like we did tonight, it shows the character, it shows we’re together," Mee told Amazon Prime. “To get a goal is nice. I’ve had chances cleared off the line or good saves so it’s nice to finally get one in. "It wasn’t a great ball from Westy (Westwood), it wasn’t what we worked on but you’ve got...

Serie A: Cristiano Ronaldo-less Juventus held by Benevento; Inter Milan score three past Sassuolo

Milan: Juventus again showed their reliance on Cristiano Ronaldo as, with the superstar attacker absent, they drew 1-1 at promoted Benevento on Saturday, while Serie A title rivals Inter Milan beat high-flying Sassuolo 3-0 to move second. The champions' fifth draw in nine league matches leaves Andrea Pirlo's side fifth, three points behind leaders AC Milan who face Fiorentina on Sunday. Ronaldo did not play after scoring in Juventus's 2-1 victory over Ferencvaros on Tuesday which sealed their berth in the Champions League last 16. "Every team is addicted to Ronaldo, even at Real Madrid he scored a lot," said Pirlo, describing the Portuguese star as "a catalyst". "He is an important player and it's normal that he makes you win games, but even without Ronaldo we have to be good at winning games." Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala started up front in Ronaldo's absence, which Pirlo put down to "tiredness". "(Ronaldo) had...
