Twitter Reactions: Sachin Tendulkar gets the best seat in the house as Virender Sehwag crushes Bangladesh Legends
Virender Sehwag brought up his fifty of just 20 balls to remind the world about his aggressive batting.
The Road Safety World Series finally resumed after a year. It was time for a match between the India Legends and the Bangladesh Legends. The Indian side cruised to a ten-wicket win in what was a top-notch performance from the entire team. Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first. The toss was the only positive outcome for them in the entire match.
Their openers started off well and we’re involved in a 59 run partnership. With a score of 59 at the end of 8 overs, it seemed like they were set for 150-160. However, the outcome was something no one really expected. The Bangladesh side kept losing wickets from time to time and failed to build any partnership of note.
Nazimuddin was the top scorer as he played a good 49-run knock. The fact that only two other batsmen managed to get to double-digit scores shows how badly the team collapsed. They were eventually all-out for 109 runs at the end of 19.4 overs.
Pragyan Ojha was the best bowler as he secured two wickets conceding only 12 runs in his four overs. Vinay Kumar and Yuvraj Singh too got two wickets to their name. While a chase of 110 was always going to be an easy one, the fact that fans would get to see Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag bat together was enough to keep the excitement going.
Virender Sehwag demolishes the Bangladeshi bowling line-up
Sehwag started off with a bang as he scored 19 runs in the very first over. He started off the inning by hitting a first-ball four which took everyone down memory lane. His off-side play was top-notch and impressed one and all. Sachin, on the other hand, barely got strike but he too played some beautiful drives.
Viru brought up his fifty of just 20 balls to remind the world about his aggressive batting. He finished with a score of 80 off just 35 balls to seal the game for the Indian side. His knock included ten fours and five sixes. This win made it three in three for the Indian side who are cruising at the top of the table.
