Sachin Tendulkar and Suresh Raina remind fans of old days as they nail their trademark shots in RSWS 2022

Road Safety World Series 2022 kicked off yesterday with South Africa (RSA) legends facing India Legends. Numerous former cricket legends including Sachin Tendulkar, Makhaya Ntini, Yuvi, Johnty Rhodes, and Suresh Raina took the field in the 1st game of RSWS 2022. 

Stuart Binny’s 82 off 42 helped India Legends post 217 on the board and unsurprisingly, the response from RSA Legends wasn’t great. They could only muster 156 for 9 off their 20 overs and lost the game by 61 runs. 

Sachin Tendulkar and Suresh Raina fill the Fans with Nostalgia

Little Master and Naman Ojha opened the batting for India Legends, sharing a 46 run stand between them. Seeing Sachin bat, in particular, was something everyone looked forward to. 

Though Tendulkar could not put on a big score, he sure reminded the fans of the good old days, executing a cracking on-drive on the 2nd ball of the fourth over.

Sachin Tendulkar fell for an individual score of 15 and following that, another superstar from the past, Suresh Raina walked out to bat. 

Much like Master Blaster, Raina also played his trademark shot in the game to fill the hearts of the fans with emotions & nostalgia. The clip of the southpaw smashing an inside-out shot to get off the mark can be seen below. 

Those Inside Out shots were a feast for the eyes!! 👌🇮🇳
