5 hits of the All-Star series
So, it is over. Again. The legends of cricket retired a long time ago, but they reignited the memories in USA in the All-Star series. And now, as the series has concluded, the eerie feeling that surrounds the hearts of fans when their heroes quit the sports has once again found a place in those chambers.Each and every moment in the series was glorious in its own way. Some of the legendary figures may not even be a shadow of their former self as age has played its joke on them, but they did an admirable job regardless.However, some others were apparently a class above the rest and one wonders why they hung up their boots in the first place. The sheer class, added with their superior fitness levels, wreaked havoc within the ground.So, here we compile the list of 5 hits of the All-Star series.
#5 Sachin Tendulkar
So far, all the players that have been mentioned were from Warne’s team, and all of them were batsmen or batting all-rounders. The last spot in this list goes to Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar for his vintage batting display in the series.
Since this series provided us with a lot of runs, it would be fair to say that it was dominated by the batsmen. Small grounds and flat decks meant that it was a batsmen’s paradise. For Sachin Blasters, the captain himself was the best batsman—showing us, once again, that age is only but a number.
He started off the series in a slow fashion, scoring 27 in 28 ball, but eventually picked up to score 115 runs in 84 balls in the 3 matches he played—topping it off with a 50 in the final game with a strike-rate of over 200.
The fans watched the series to see the Little Master doing what he does best, and he did just that.
