When Sachin Tendulkar, 50, returns to the net, he smashes amazing straight drives that puts Kohli and Babar to shame.

 Sachin Tendulkar with a bat in hand is always magic.



Sachin Tendulkar is almost 51, has been retired for 10 years, turns up only occasionally to play the Legends League cricket or the one odd exhibition match focussed at charity. But even today, everytime he picks up the bat, it's magic all over again. Some people are born for certain things, even if they let it go. For Tendulkar, it's batting. A decade has passed since Tendulkar rode off into the sunset, but his genius is such as if nothing has changed. That crouch, the stance, that grimace of his face while facing the bowler… and of course, the shot-making. Tendulkar's still got it.


Having last played cricket of any kind in October of 2022 for the Road Safety World Series, Tendulkar is set to make another appearance on the cricket ground, for the One World One Family Cup – a friendly match on January 18 – at the Sai Krishnan Cricket Stadium at Sathya Sai Grama in Muddenahalli. And for the same, the great man in gearing up in style. In a video posted by Tendulkar on his social media handle, Sachin could be seen padding up and facing the bowling machine… and letting those extravagant, stylish strokes flow from the middle of his bat.


Some of the straight drives Tendulkar connected promise to bring back memories of his glorious years. The straight drive became synonymous with Tendulkar over his 24-year-long career and watching these clips will surely, once again, make you go WOW. The effortlessness with which Tendulkar creams those delightful shots is a testament to his genius. Sure enough, he may not be facing express pace but even at 50, Tendulkar, with a bat in hand, makes for a breathtaking sight all over again.
