It all unfolded during the 5th over of the special cricket match at the opening ceremony. Tendulkar, having already unleashed a quick-fire 30 runs from just 16 deliveries, faced the second ball of Munawar’s first over. With an audacious attempt to dispatch a delivery outside the off-stump, Tendulkar found himself mistiming the shot, only to be caught at gully by wicketkeeper Naman Ojha, plunging the stadium into what the commentator aptly described as ‘Complete silence.’
