Fans relive Sachin’s “Desert Storm” innings!

Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is currently leading the India Legends in the ongoing Road Safety World Series and the right-handed player is not showing any sign of rustiness with the bat. The maestro had resigned from international cricket in 2013 however when you see him batting, it doesn’t look like Sachin has called time on his profession. On Thursday, the 49-year-old crushed 40 runs off only 20 balls against England Legends, including three monstrous sixes.

Opening the batting against England Legends, Tendulkar got off the mark through a single. In the over against Chris Tremlett, Tendulkar chose to go wild as he crushed him for 6,6 and 4. The second six has now gone viral on social media as it saw the Master Blaster moving down the track and crushing it over the boundary fence.

The shot quickly became a social media sensation, and the fans have begun contrasting this and Tendulkar’s popular innings at Sharjah in 1998 broadly known as the “Desert Storm”

The match between India Legends and England Legends was reduced to 15 overs for each side. Batting first, India Legends posted 170/5. Tendulkar scored 40 while Yuvraj Singh stayed unbeaten on 31 off only 15 balls.
