From facing Bigg Boss winner Munawar Faruqui to coming up with an incredible gesture for para-cricketer Amir Hussain Lone, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar had an eventful outing on the opening day of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) in Thane on Wednesday. Kickstarting the inaugural edition of the Indian Street Premier League, batting legend Tendulkar captained his Master XI side against Bollywood icon Akshay Kumar’s Khiladi XI.
Bowling to one of the greatest batters in the history of the game, Bigg Boss winner Faruqui dismissed Tendulkar in the fifth over of the Master XI innings. Silencing the crowd at the Dadoji Kondadev Stadium, Faruqui got the better of Tendulkar when the Master Blaster was busy doing the bulk of scoring for his side. The Little Master smashed 30 off 17 balls in the exhibition match of the Indian Street Premier League. Faruqui’s dismissal of Tendulkar became an instant hit for netizens on social media.
