The excitement is more than ever before as two of the finest batsmen ever to play the game- India’s Sachin Tendulkar and West Indian Brian Lara- will once again compete on the cricket field but this time for a much bigger cause than just winning or losing a game of cricket.
The two legendary players are featuring in the Road Safety World Series tournament, a T20 cricket competition in which former cricketers are participating to promote the cause of Road Safety.
A total of 11 matches will be played in the tournament with the final scheduled to be played on 22 March at the Brabourne Stadium.
