VIRAL VIDEO: Sachin Tendulkar Faces 6 Balls after 5 Years

To the surprise of fans, Sachin Tendulkar played an over in the Bushfire Cricket Bash. Sachin had been roped into coach the team led by Australian former captain Ricky Ponting.

Earlier Australia's star all-rounder and 2019 women's cricketer of the year Ellyse Perry requested Sachin to play an over during the innings break of the Bushfire Cricket Bash.

Sachin accepted the request on his Twitter handle saying "Sounds great Ellyse. I would love to go out there & bat an over (much against the advice of my doctor due to my shoulder injury). Hope we can generate enough money for this cause, & to get me out there in the middle" (sic).

Sounds great Ellyse. I would love to go out there & bat an over (much against the advice of my doctor due to my shoulder injury).

Hope we can generate enough money for this cause, & to get me out there in the middle.
