As Team India is preparing for the 2016 WT20 opener against New Zealand, here is a video in which Sachin Tendulkar took the attack to the Kiwis in Super Max International Series in 2002. Playing in the unique format for the first time, the Indians did well to take the lead in the 10-over per innings match played under lights but lost way in the second essay.

Watch Sachin Tendulkar’s Outstanding Knock:

Sachin Tendulkar hammered 72 off just 27 balls which weren’t enough for an equally belligerent New Zealand. Despite Ganguly and Dravid were resting the tour, Tendulkar turned up the heat on the hosts by slamming a record 72 and picking up five wickets to be adjudged man-of-the-match.
