Highlighting how the uncapped India player planned crucial wickets against LSG, Tendulkar explained, “I thought that was one of the reasons Badoni played that shot (in the 10th over against Madhwal), and to me, that was the turning point of the game. Yes, Krunal's wicket was important, but those two wickets in the over, you forced him to play that shot. Few dot shots and he went across the line. To me, that was the turning point. Everyone chipped in”. 

"This is the best anniversary gift that I can get." 🎁
