His dazzling strokeplay, fearless aggression and masterful control set the tone for India's crushing victory over Sri Lanka in the opening ODI at Nagpur. Tendulkar blasted a brilliant half-century, combining classical drives with audacious innovation, while Irfan Pathan's surprise promotion to No. 3 turned into a masterstroke. Pathan smashed a breathtaking 83, reaching his fifty in just 41 balls and keeping Sri Lanka under relentless pressure. Rahul Dravid then produced a finishing masterclass, hammering an unbeaten 85 from only 63 deliveries to propel India to a massive total of 350+. His calculated acceleration and flawless shot selection left the Sri Lankan bowlers helpless. In reply, Kumar Sangakkara launched a fierce counterattack, but Harbhajan Singh's magical spell changed the game completely. The off-spinner ripped through Sri Lanka's batting with turn, bounce and deception, while Murali Kartik cleaned up the middle order to complete a dominant Indian victory. 🏏 Match Highlights: • Sachin Tendulkar's sensational comeback innings • Irfan Pathan's explosive 83 at No. 3 • Rahul Dravid's unbeaten 85 off 63 balls • India post a mammoth 350+ total • Kumar Sangakkara's aggressive response • Harbhajan Singh's match-winning spell • Murali Kartik's crucial wickets • India's dominant win over Sri Lanka A memorable ODI where Tendulkar's return, Pathan's promotion and Harbhajan's spin magic combined to produce a complete Indian performance. #SachinTendulkar #IndiaVsSriLanka #IrfanPathan #RahulDravid #HarbhajanSingh #CricketHighlights #ODIClassic
