After six years, three months and 20 days, batting icon Sachin Tendulkar returned to his home turf—the Wankhede Stadium pitch—and he didn't disappoint his fans who had filled the iconic venue on Saturday.

Chasing the West Indies Legends's 150-8, Tendulkar (36 off 29, 7x4) and fellow opener Virender Sehwag (74 not out, 11x4) gave the hosts a fine 83-run opening stand to eventually help them beat the visitors by seven wickets in the opening fixture of the Road Safety World Series T20 tournament.
