5 best duels from the Cricket All-Stars Series

The Tendulkar-Warne duel turned out to be a tame one at the All StarsMuch to the disappointment of cricket fans all over the world, the electrifying confrontation between the legends of the game known as the Cricket All-Stars T20 has come to an end after 3 feisty encounters.However, it has given us all numerous moments to cherish and retain in our memories for a very long time, at least till the time we get more of them when the next edition of the tournament comes around.Although the All-Stars series has mainly been about two teams filled with legends having a go at each other, there have also been a few individual battles fought. While many of them were dominated by one of the two players, a few were evenly contested as well.Let’s take a look at some of the great duels from the series:

#1 Virender Sehwag vs Allan Donald

Sehwag went after Donald in both matches that the latter played

Every time Allan Donald ran in to bowl at Virender Sehwag during the All-Stars series, you could sense that Viru was all set to hit him out of the park. The very first confrontation between the two during the 1st T20 saw the ball disappear over the mid wicket fence and into the crowd.

The next ball was blocked by Sehwag, but in Donald’s following over he again flicked a leg stump half-volley for four as soon as he came on strike. In the final game of the 3-match series, Donald opened the bowling and was dispatched for a first-ball-four in pure Sehwag style.

Not a single run came off Sehwag’s bat in the next 4 deliveries until he smashed a home run over fine leg for a six from Donald’s last ball in the over. The Delhi dasher was not done yet as he hammered ‘The White Lightning’ for another maximum off the last ball of his next over while humming a popular Bollywood number.
