Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag used to torment bowlers in their prime and they did it once again on Saturday, putting the West Indies Legends bowling attack to the sword while adding 83 runs for the first wicket during the opener of the Road Safety World Series between West Indies Legends and India Legends.
Sehwag (74 not out; 11x4) played all the shots in the book, including the traditional late cut, while Tendulkar (36; 7x4) executed drives, upper cuts and stepped out to spinners. Watching the two in action was enough to send everyone on a huge nostalgia trip.

Was fun going back in time last night.Sachin still desperately wants to get runs. Lara’s high back lift, ability to play breathtaking shots still instact.Chanderpaul still a hard man to dismiss. Sehwag still nonchalantly dominates & Yuvi still caresses the ball into the 2nd tier.
