Five and half years after his retirement, the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar once again took to the field, this time for the greater good. He, along with several other legendary cricketers played at the Bushfire Cricket Bash charity match.
This 46-year-old legend ended up hitting a four off the first ball he faced! In the clip, he can be seen playing Australia’s 2019 Women’s Cricketer of the Year, Ellyse Perry in the over and her former teammate Alex Blackwell.
