n a thrilling match at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara, India, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar showed his brilliance with a quick 33-ball 64 for India Masters in the International Masters League 2025. His performance reminded fans of his famous Desert Storm innings, as he played powerful shots and hit the ball cleanly.
Tendulkar’s explosive knock was the highlight of India Masters' chase against Australia Masters. Australia’s Shane Watson and Ben Dunk both scored huge centuries. Watson made 110* and Dunk scored 132*, helping Australia reach a huge total of 291/1. Despite Tendulkar’s incredible performance, India Masters were bowled out for 174, losing by 95 runs.
Tendulkar hit four sixes and seven fours in his quick-fire 64, setting up a strong chase. He scored a fast 50 off just 27 balls, entertaining the crowd with his brilliant shots.
