India Legends skipper Sachin Tendulkar has penned a heartfelt message after the team won the Road Safety World Series title on Saturday. Squaring off against the Sri Lanka Legends in the final, Naman Ojha’s brilliant hundred ensured that Tendulkar and his men became two-time Road Safety World Series Champions.

The India Legends got off to a poor start as Nuwan Kulasekara cleaned up the Master Blaster with a peach of a delivery. They lost Suresh Raina shortly after and were under serious pressure. However, promoting Vinay Kumar up the order proved to be a masterstroke.. He played an important knock of 36 and allowed Ojha to unleash as well. The wicketkeeper remained unbeaten on 108 runs from 71 balls as India Legends posted a strong score of 195 runs from their 20 overs.

Sachin praises Naman Ojha for his outstanding performance in Finals

In response, the Sri Lanka Legends struggled to get going and lost Sanath Jayasuriya early on. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals and found themselves 85 for 6 in 12.1 overs. As the India Legends bowlers were right on the money. Ishan Jayaratne and Mahela Udawatte put on a good partnership with the former scoring a valiant half-century. Once Udawatte was dismissed, the Sri Lanka Legends tail folded quickly and the India Legends by 33 runs and the trophy.

Tendulkar has now talked about the win on Saturday and congratulated the team for their efforts. Also had special praise reserved for Ojha and said that his batting was brilliant in the final. The Indian cricket legend concluded by dedicating the win to his teammates and the fans.

For India then, now & forever!
A fantastic effort from the team to win the #RoadSafetyWorldSeries once again. The way @namanojha35 batted last night was simply brilliant.
