A 43-year-old Yuvraj Singh not being able to move properly but still grabbing those stunners in the field, the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar rolling back the clock with a couple of boundaries, Kumar Sangakkara reminding everyone why he still is the second-highest run-getter in international cricket of all time and India prevailing over Sri Lanka—it was an overload of nostalgia as the yesteryear stars took on each other in the opener of the International Masters League in Navi Mumbai on Saturday, February 22.
Sri Lanka Masters seemed to be running away with the game despite it being a 220-plus chase riding on Sangakkara’s quick fifty and Jeevan Mendis’ attack 17-ball 42 before Vinay Kumar and Abhimanyu Mithun put on the squeeze in the end overs to help India Masters overcome the death assault to get first points on the board.
