Super sixes
Only once had Sachin Tendulkar begun a Test innings with a six: when he crunched Muttiah Muralitharan back over his head and out of the stadium first ball at Nagpur in 1997. On Tuesday, the maestro went one better, wading into Nathan Lyon’s off-spin for two massive strikes over long-on on the first two deliveries. Another hit for maximum would have won the match in style, but that wasn’t to be and it was left to Cheteshwar Pujara to stroke the winning run. Tendulkar though made what is possibly his last Test appearance at Chepauk a memorable one for those who turned up.
