Batting great Sachin Tendulkar wowed fans with his stunning scoop shot during the 12th match of the ongoing Road Safety World Series between India Legends and New Zealand Legends.
India great Sachin Tendulkar sent the fans into a frenzy with his top-class shot-making while opening for India Legends in their match against New Zealand Legends during the ongoing Road Safety World Series. Sachin walked in to open alongside Naman Ojha after New Zealand Legends decided to field.
In the first over of the first innings, Sachin struck a magnificent back foot cover drive off Kyle Mills' delivery to score his maiden boundary. Sachin scored his second boundary with a beautiful pull shot off Shane Bond's bowling in the very next over. The fans were in for the ultimate treat before the rain played spoilsport as Sachin turned back the clock with a stunning scoop shot off Mills' bowling.

Sachin and Ojha added 32 runs for the opening wicket before the Indian wicketkeeper was cleaned up by Shane Bond for 18 off 15 balls. At the time of writing this copy, Tendulkar was still standing in the middle and had scored 18 runs off 11 balls. Suresh Raina had joined Sachin in the middle and scored eight runs off five deliveries when the match was stopped due to rain. Sachin scored 16 runs off 15 balls with two fours in India Legends' 63-run victory over South Africa Legends in their first match.
Tendulkar's India Legends are now in the third position in the Road Safety World Series T20 points table with three points from two games. India Legends' previous match against West Indies Legends was washed out due to unpleasant weather in Kanpur.
