The first match of the competition is between Master’s XI, under the direction of Sachin Tendulkar, and Khiladi XI, under the direction of Akshay Kumar. Celebrities and well-known cricket players, including Robin Uthappa, Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, and Irfan Pathan, were present on both teams.
Amir Hussain, a paralympian cricketer, and Sachin Tendulkar opened.
Tendulkar, who met para-cricketer Amir Hussain during a recent tour to Jammu & Kashmir, opened the innings with a meaningful gesture. To further fuel his cricket dreams, the renowned hitter even gave him a bat that he had signed.
As the Masters XI faced Akshay Kumar’s opening over, Tendulkar and Amir opened the innings. In only the opening over, Tendulkar even gave Kumar a massive six that sent the crowd into a frenzy. Alongside his idol, Hussain skillfully rotated the strike to add runs that were essential for his team.
