great indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar Even though he has retired from the game, he certainly hasn’t forgotten how to bat. We keep repeating this line one after the other in the Road Safety World Series 2022. In the match vs England Legends, India Legends captain Sachin Tendulkar turned the clock back as he scored 40 runs in just 20 balls. His innings included 3 fours and 3 sixes and came at a strike rate of 200. Tendulkar played some exceptional shots in the innings. Once against a fast bowler, he came down to hit the ball maximum at long on region. On the second occasion, again against a fast bowler, he played a hook shot. That was something rare and special on Tendulkar’s part.
Fans couldn’t stop raining on Tendulkar as he again showed that class is permanent. At the age of 49 and even 9 years after retiring from the game, Tendulkar continues to bat like a dream and fans who attended the game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun could not have asked for more.
Enjoy some of Tendulkar’s shots and fans’ reactions to his blistering 40-run knock.
