Sachin is currently taking part in the Legends League Cricket, which is currently taking place at Green Park in Kanpur. In the match against South Africa Legends, the Master Blaster scored 16 runs off 15 balls with the help of two fours.
Sachin remains the only batter with over 100 centuries in international cricket. Virat Kohli and Ricky Ponting are second in the list with 71 centuries apiece. Warne, on the other hand, retired around 15 years ago but remains the second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket after the legendary Muttiah Muralitharan.
