The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai witnessed a rollback in years when Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag walked out to bat against West Indies Legends in the lung-opener of Road Safety World Series. The India Legends didn’t disappoint the huge turnouts as they defeated their West Indies counterpart by seven wickets.
Batting first, West Indies Legends were off to a great start with Daren Ganga and Shivnarine Chanderpaul stitching a 40-run partnership for the opening wicket. Captain Brian Lara came to bat at No. 3 and played a couple of delightful strokes before departing for 17. Chanderpaul slammed 61 runs off just 41 balls whereas, Tino Best played an entertaining cameo of 11 not-out off five balls to take his side to 150 in the stipulated 20 overs.
