Vintage Sachin Tendulkar Wows Fans As India Masters Clinch Inaugural International Masters League Title
Sachin Tendulkar rolled back the years with a scintillating knock, delighting a capacity 50,000-plus crowd as India Masters dished out an allround show to beat West Indies Masters by six wickets and win the inaugural International Masters League in Raipur on Sunday. The Indian bowlers, led by Vinay Kumar (3-0-26-3) and Shahbaz Nadeem (4-1-12-2), had earlier set the tone, restricting West Indies Masters to a modest 148/7 after Brian Lara opted to bat. In response, Tendulkar treated fans to a glimpse of his golden days, unleashing his signature strokes in his brief but memorable stay of 25 runs from 18 balls (2x4, 1x6).
