Sachin Tendulkar had a match-winning partnership with Virender Sehwag against the Bangladesh Legends

Sachin Tendulkar is the India Legends captain in the 2021 Road Safety World Series. India Legends had recorded two wins under his leadership last year.

Three nights ago, they completed a hat-trick of victories in the competition by crushing the Bangladesh Legends.

Bangladesh Legends won the toss and elected to bat first in Raipur. Although they got off to a good start, the Bangladesh team could only manage 109 runs in the first innings.

Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag scored 114 runs off just 10.1 overs

In reply, the iconic duo of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag destroyed the Bangladesh Legends bowling lineup.

The two openers chased the 110-run target inside 11 overs. Sehwag scored a 35-ball 80*, while Tendulkar remained unbeaten on 33 runs off 26 deliveries.

The India Legends will be in action tonight, playing against Kevin Pietersen's England Legends. It will be exciting to see how Sachin Tendulkar performs in Raipur.
