IML 2025: Tendulkar's Fifty In Vain As Australia Masters Beat India Masters By 95 Runs
Internatinal Masters League: A jam-packed crowd was treated to a vintage Sachin Tendulkar masterclass for the India Masters after the Australia Masters duo of Shane Watson and Ben Dunk unleashed carnage to eventually help their side notch up its first win of the International Masters League 2025 at the BCA Stadium here on Wednesday. Shane Watson scored 110 not out and Ben Dunk 132 not out as Australia scored 291/1. Xavier Doherty claimed 5-25 as India Masters were bowled out for 174, losing by 95 runs.
It’s a battle etched in cricketing folklore — one that has thrilled generations of fans, and on Wednesday, it unfolded once again in Vadodara.
Tendulkar brought back memories of the epic Desert Storm in Sharjah with an electrifying 33-ball 64, setting the perfect tone for India Masters’ run chase. The delicate late cuts and booming straight drives were on full display as Tendulkar took on the Australian attack with fearless intent, to raise his fifty off a mere 27 deliveries, reminding fans why he remains the heartbeat of Indian cricket.
