New Delhi, March 17: Skipper Sachin Tendulkar (63) and Saurabh Tiwary (61) smashed blistering half-centuries to propel Mumbai Indians to a huge 218 for seven against Delhi Daredevils in their Indian Premier League match here today.
Tendulkar drove, pulled and cut the Delhi Daredevils bowlers with elan after being invited to bat.
Tendulkar’s knock, his fourth IPL fifty, came off just 32 balls and was studded with 11 fours in front of a packed Ferozeshah Kotla Stadium crowd.
Young Tiwary took the cue from his captain and smashed an aggressive 37-ball 61, laced with four fours and three sixes to take Mumbai Indians to the highest total of IPL-III so far.
They surpassed their own earlier highest of 212 for six which they made against Rajasthan Royals in their first match on March 13 in Ahmedabad.
