Munawar Faruqui picked up the wicket of legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar in the inaugural game of the Indian Street Premier League on Wednesday.

Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar returned to the cricket field on Wednesday, the inaugural day of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) in Thane. As the master blaster was once again seen in action with his bat, the fans went crazy and were over the moon to witness the cricket legend’s magic on the field.

Munawar Faruqui dismisses Sachin Tendulkar 

Sachin led his team, Master XI, against Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar’s Khiladi XI, and the result turned out in the former’s favor, as Sachin’s team defeated Akshay’s Khiladis by 5 runs. However, watching the cricketer in his element was a visual treat as he stroked into the crowd continuously before falling to Bigg Boss 17 winner and comedian Munawar Faruqui.

It must be a dream moment for Faruqui as he could claim the wicket of one of the greatest of the game, both in India and the world. The master blaster smashed 30 runs off just 17 balls but could not continue it for long, as in the fifth over, the ball he shot landed in the hands of the fielder, causing an end to his remarkable innings. As soon as the legend got out, the crowd in the Dadoji Kondadev Stadium fell silent, signifying how his craze is still prevalent among Indian cricket fans.
