Sachin Tendulkar rolled back the years with a vintage knock, leading India Masters to a commanding nine-wicket win over England Masters in the International Masters League (IML) on Tuesday. The cricket legend delighted fans with a quickfire 34 off 21 balls, showcasing his trademark stroke play at the DY Patil Sports Academy.
India Masters Cruise to Victory
Chasing a modest target of 132, India Masters made light work of the total, finishing the match in just 11.4 overs. Gurkeerat Singh Mann stole the show with an unbeaten 63 off 35 balls, while Yuvraj Singh added flair with a 14-ball 27.
Sachin Tendulkar innings featured five crisp boundaries and a towering six before he was dismissed by Chris Schofield. His dazzling stroke play, including three consecutive fours in the fifth over, had the crowd on its feet.
England Masters Struggle to Build Momentum Against Sachin Tendulkar Team
Earlier, Tendulkar’s decision to bowl first paid off as India Masters restricted England Masters to 132/8. Darren Maddy and Tim Ambrose showed glimpses of form but failed to convert their starts into big scores. The Indian bowlers kept things tight, ensuring that England never gained momentum.
A Nostalgic Treat for Fans
With two consecutive wins in the tournament, India Masters are off to a flying start. Tendulkar’s vintage performance was the highlight of the night, bringing back memories of his golden days.
