XtraTime Web Desk – Good old day for all the Indian cricket fans. Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag coming out to bat is what every cricket fan wanted to see in the 2000s. Nothing has changed since then though. The partnership destroyed oppositions back then and so many years later, they still are in fine tune and doing the same thing they used to do.
Winning the toss, Bangladesh Legends decided to bat first. They were however brilliantly handled by the bowlers. Yuvraj Singh and Pragyan Ojha picked 2 wickets each. Vinay Kumar picked 2 while Yusuf Pathan and Gony picked 1 each. Bangladesh struggled a lot and reached 109 losing all their wickets.
Sehwag-Sachin duo made it look like a walk in the park. Viru played just the way he knows how to and brought up his half century in just 20 balls. He finished on 80* of just 35 deliveries while Sachin finished on 33 from 26 deliveries. The duo finished the game in just 10.1 overs and registered their first win in the Road Safety series.
As expected, Sehwag was handed the Man of the match trophy and in the post match conference Viru said, “Sachin told me to finish quickly and that’s why I was in a hurry. Yesterday I just had a five minute net session, that’s it. My batting was simple, see the ball and hit the ball”.
