Virender Sehwag and the First Ball Frontier: Swashbuckling Opener rekindles the eternal love story

In the fifth match of the Road Safety World Series, India Legends defeated Bangladesh Legends by 10 wickets, marking the tournament’s resumption after a year.

In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the tournament was postponed indefinitely.

Virender Sehwag (80* off 35 balls) and Sachin Tendulkar (33* off 26 balls) thrashed the Bangladesh Legends, producing a performance that rekindled Indian cricket’s glorious past.

Sehwag began his innings with a four on the first delivery of the Indian innings, keeping with his ‘tradition.’ Mohammad Rafique, the spinner, was slammed for driving through the covers.
