The veteran Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is back in action with the Indian Master's team in the International Master's League T20. The 51-year-old has been in great touch in the tournament, as evidenced by his stroke-making abilities.

He was on show once again in the clash against the Australia Masters. While chasing a massive target of 270 runs, the Indian openers had to get going from the start, and that is exactly what Tendulkar did. With a brilliant cover drive that found the gap between cover fielder and point on the second ball of the innings, the Master Blaster set the tone for his knock. 

The 200 Tests veteran played some mesmerising shots that reminded fans of the times he played for India. He played a straight shot for a six over the bowlers head that was particularly a treat to watch. His innings was filled with some more pull shots and cuts that hugely entertained the crowd. 

Eventually he was dismissed by Xavier Doherty in the 11th over for a team score of 100 for four. Sachin had scored a majority of the team's total with his knock of 64 in 33 balls that included seven fours and four sixes. Eventually, the India Masters were all out for a score of 174, handing the opponents a 95-run victory.
