The necessary message of road safety in India will be convincingly spread, this year, in perhaps the most memorable manner possible. No, this time you can really count on it: cricket legends from India, Australia, Sri Lanka, West Indies and South Africa have assembled to showcase their extraordinary talent once again, as they have teamed up to battle at the Unacademy Road Safety World Series T20.
Nostalgia is in the air as we see the return of iconic legends exhibit the flair for their sport. Who would've thought they would witness Sachin Tendulkar's and Virender Sehwag open the batting for India as they prepare to face Bret Lee's lightning deliveries. This is indeed a delightful surprise. After all, this will be Sachin Tendulkar's first competitive match since 2013. The list of iconic cricketers on this roster is truly mesmerizing. The extraordinary Brian Lara and the high-flying Jonty Rhodes are all set to dazzle the pitch again. Now, instead of name dropping more of these iconic names let's take a quick look at everything you need to know about the match, so you don't regret missing your chance to catch them live!
