New Delhi: India vice-captain Rohit Sharma slashing Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali for a six over backward point in their clash at Old Trafford on Sunday had fans revisit the upper-cut played by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar off Shoaib Akhtar in Centurion in 2003. While there have been constant comparison between the two shots and who played it better, Tendulkar shared his take on the same.
Taking to Twitter, Tendulkar wrote: "We both are from INDIA and in this case, AAMCHI MUMBAI as well....So heads I win, tails you lose! (sic)" Earlier, ICC had posed the question for the fans when it tweeted: "Sachin in 2003 or Rohit in 2019 - who did it better?" It was an amazing display of professionalism from the Men in Blue against Pakistan in Manchester. They first scored 336/5 in their 50 overs with Rohit hitting a brilliant 113-ball 140 and the bowlers then tightened the screws on the Pakistan batsmen.
