Munawar Faruqui celebrates Sachin Tendulkar's wicket
Indian comedian and rapper Munawar Faruqui erupted with joy after he took the wicket of the legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar on the very first ball he bowled to the Indian great. It happened during the exhibition game being played before the season opener of the ISPL T10 tournament in Thane, Mumbai.
Sachin Tendulkar was at 30 runs in just 16 balls when skipper Akshay Kumar introduced Faruqui to the ball. In his second ball of the over and first to the Master Blaster, Munawar scalped the surprise wicket when Sachin decided to play an unorthodox shot behind the stumps.
The ball took the outside edge off Sachin's bat and was comfortably taken by wicketkeeper Naman Ojha. As the wicket of Master Blaster fell, the comedian erupted into joy and celebrated the occasion with his teammates Robin Uthappa, skipper Akshay Kumar, and Prateik Babbar.
