"Reminding the old days": Sachin Tendulkar hooks Tino Best for six in Road Safety World Series to make fans nostalgic

Sachin Tendulkar hooks Tino Best: The captain of Indian Legends mesmerized his bountiful fans with a dominating hook shot.

During the first semi-final of the ongoing season of the Road Safety World Series in Raipur, India Legends captain Sachin Tendulkar broke the shackles by hitting West Indies Legends pacer Tino Best for a six on the leg-side.

It all happened on the fourth delivery of the eighth over when Tendulkar hooked a short delivery from Best over the deep square region for a dominating six.

With one of Tendulkar’s many career highlights lying in hooking former England pacer Andrew Caddick for a similar six during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003, his shot against Best reminded one and all of his prime.

Opening the batting with Virender Sehwag (35), Tendulkar ended a brief boundary-less period with the shot. While India Legends posted 55/0 in the first five overs, Sehwag’s dismissal put a halt to the run-scoring process at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium.

Tendulkar, who followed his shot with another boundary in the next over, soon witnessed his non-striker in Mohammed Kaif also among the runs as the right-hand batsman Dwayne Smith for two sixes and a four in the 11th over. It is worth mentioning that Kaif has been included in the Indian Playing XI for this match in place of the injured Subramaniam Badrinath.
