Legendary Indian opening pair, Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar gave their fans some nostalgic moments to relive with their unbeaten match-winning stand for India Legends at the Road Safety World Series opener against Bangladesh Legends. Sehwag was at his characteristic best, starting off the 110-run chase with a boundary off the first ball of the innings off Bangladesh veteran Mohammed Rafique.

Sehwag had scored as many as 19 runs off the first over as he set the tone for what was about to unfold. Studded with former Indian players including Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Kaif, Munaf Patel, and Irfan Pathan, India Legends began their tournament with a 10-wicket win over Bangladesh.

Sehwag laid into the Bangladesh Legends blowing attack from the word go and smashed 80 runs off just 35 balls with the help of 10 fours and five sixes. Tendulkar, at the other end, was more subdued but finished unbeaten on 33 off 26 with five fours.
But the night belonged to Sehwag to tore apart the Bangladesh attack with a flurry of boundaries and sixes.

Virender Sehwag smashed back-to-back boundaries to Rafique on the first two balls of the chase and never looked back from there. He had managed to surpass the 50-run mark in just 20 balls and it was the fastest in the history of the Road Safety World Series.
