His knock helped his team, Aries Kollam Sailors, to a thrilling seven-wicket victory over Kochi Blue Tigers, chasing down a target of 159 with eight balls to spare. The pressure kept on increasing for the Sailors as wickets kept falling from one end. But Sachin saved the game for them and helped them gain victory.

Day 1 ended, and it will resume tomorrow again with Gaikwad and Manav Suttar on the crease.
