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.

The crisis, however, presents us with an opportunity to step back, rethink, and write on sports differently. In line with this thought, we are running a series of profiles on India's illustrious badminton stars. The articles, penned by Shirish Nadkarni, promise to take you on a nostalgia trip while touching upon the lesser-known facets from the lives of the past masters. Few badminton players can boast of the kind of consistency and all-round excellence that characterised Sarojini, the eldest of the three Apte sisters who dominated Indian badminton in the mid-1960s. Sarojini played in six Indian Nationals, from 1962 to ’67, and figured in the finals of all the three events in all the six years, except for a solitary ladies doubles final in 1964. In other words, seventeen out of eighteen National finals, but producing a slightly better than one-third result – s...
