Mohammad Kaif reveals secret Sachin Tendulkar hid from fans in Road Safety World Series

The recently concluded Road Safety World Series proved to be a blockbuster one as fans were enthralled with the prospect of seeing their favourite stars live in action once again. The Sachin Tendulkar-led Indian Legends played exceptionally well to clinch the championship after they trumped Sri Lanka Legends in the final. Ahead of the much-anticipated final, Mohammad Kaif took to his Instagram account where he revealed a major Sachin Tendulkar secret. 

Sachin Tendulkar played the Road Safety World Series final with plaster and straps 

The batting maestro turned the clock back as he played some scintillating knocks during the Road Safety World Series. The Indian Legends emerged to be the team to beat, and their dominant run ensured that they made it to the final of the tournament. Ahead of the ultimate contest, Mohammad Kaif shared a picture with Tendulkar, where the Indian Legends captain was seen sporting a plaster in a leg, whereas his other leg was also tapped with straps.

This indicates that the former cricketer was indeed struggling in terms of his fitness, but he did not let that have an impact on his on-field performances as he finished the competition as the second-highest run-getter. The star batter looked in spectacular touch in the final as well and contributed with crucial 30 runs at the top of the order against the Sri Lanka Legends.
