Sachin Tendulkar’s first T20 match victory

Sachin Tendulkar has introduced with T20 formatted match with the 36th match at DLF IPLT20 and won the match by 9 wickets. Only Sachin Tendulkar got out in that tournament by acquiring 12 runs from 16 balls. When the team’s runs reached on 81, Sachin Tendulkar was bowled by Joginder Sharma. As a result Mumbai Indians got a nine wickets victory with remaining 37 balls.

Jayasuriya has finished the match with 37 balls to spare and nine wickets in hand. That's a massive massive margin considering that they were chasing a target of 157. The crowds came to see Tendulkar but it was Jayasuriya who was simply irresistible. He scored his hundred off 45 balls, the second-fastest 100 of the IPL, and hit 11 sixes and nine fours. 102 off his 114 runs came in boundaries.

"Sigh! It is unfortunate that Mumbai was chasing. Else, Sanath might have blasted past McCullum's score, and done so quite emphatically," says Dheeraj.

Indeed he may have, this was Jayasuriya at his finest, vintage 1996. He pummeled the bowlers with short arm cuts over point and flicks over square leg. I think Dhoni missed a trick by bringing Murali on well after the game was finished as a contest.

The victory will inspire Mumbai Indians for the second match.
