Sachin Tendulkar slams Tim Bresnan for three consecutive boundaries
Former Indian legend Tendulkar displayed his vintage class against the England Masters side in the International Masters League T20 2025 at the D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, where he played an outstanding 34-run knock of just 21 deliveries.
Tendulkar, who opened the innings alongside Gurkeerat Singh Mann, smashed a total of five fours and one six in his knock but was later dismissed by Chris Schofield in the eighth over of the chase. However, during his knock, Tendulkar, in the fifth over, went berserk against the English pacer Tim Bresnan. On the second ball of the over, he smashed Bresnan for a six over backward square leg, while the next two deliveries were played equally brilliantly for two consecutive fours over deep mid-wicket and deep extra cover, respectively. During his outstanding innings, Tendulkar ensured that India Masters were close enough to victory.
