Somethings can never change — from Sudhir Kumar Gautam waving the tricolor and fans chanting ‘Sachin-Sachin’ as the legendary batsman steps out to bat to Virender Sehwag hitting the boundary on the first ball. The iconic opening duo of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, who are regarded as one of the best cricketing duos in the world, rolled back the years for their fans as they came out to bat for the Road Safety World Series between India legends and West Indies legends.

Sachin Tendulkar too played some glorious shots. At 46-years Sachin Tendulkar looked still hungry for runs.
Tendulkar smashed Pedro Collins for 2 fours and later got a hattrick of boundaries off Suleiman Benn. The iconic duo took team Indian to 59 runs for no loss in the first 6 overs and were involved in a partnership of 83 runs before Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed for 36 runs to give West Indies legends their first breakthrough.
Virender Sehwag was awarded the ‘Man of the Match’ for his quickfire performance where he scored 74 off 57 balls.
