Ex-Pacer, Once Victim Of A Sachin Tendulkar Rampage, Is Now A Painter In Australia

Former Zimbabwe fast bowler Henry Olonga is someone remembered fondly by Indians, for he was the victim of a Sachin Tendulkar rampage in 1998. Playing the final of a triangular series between India, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, Tendulkar smashed 124 off 92 balls, taking Olonga to the cleaners. Over 25 years later, however, Olonga's life has taken an unprecedented turn. In 2019, Olonga went viral as he wowed judges in 'The Voice Australia' singing competition. Now, Olonga is a part-time painter for social causes, and was present during the second Test between India and Australia at Adelaide.
