Sachin Tendulkar accepted the challenge to face one over against Ellyse Perry and Annabel Sutherland during the innings break of the Bushfire Cricket Bash. Well, the Master Blaster looked in no rustiness whatsoever as he played some brilliant shorts against the right-arm pacer at the Junction Oval in Melbourne and enthralled the crowd. Tendulkar scored a boundary on the first ball and took a two off the second. The next two deliveries were dots and then Sutherland came out to bowl the final two deliveries. The fans got to see the vintage cover drive from the Master Blaster on the penultimate ball and he displayed his signature straight drive too on the last ball.

Well, Ellyse Perry is touted to be one of the best bowlers in women's cricket in the modern era and her numbers speak for themselves. However, the highest-run scorer in International cricket played brilliantly against her and enthralled the fans with his sensational shots. After a boundary and a two in the first two balls, he also played a sweet leg-glance and a straight drive too. Nevertheless, Perry also managed to bowl two dot balls against Tendulkar and she’ll be delighted by that. Meanwhile, let’s look at how the over fared.
