India great Sachin Tendulkar faced Australia women's all-rounder Ellyse Perry during the innings break of the Bushfire charity match. A day before the match, Perry had presented a challenge to Sachin on Twitter via a video message. Tendulkar accepted it and was ready for a one-over clash.

Playing after 5 years, Sachin got off to the mark with a boundary. On the second delivery, which was again short of the length delivery, he worked it towards deep square leg. He found the fielder on the third and fourth delivery.

The last two balls were bowled by Annabel Sutherland. Sachin bowled one to the cover region and last delivery towards mid-on.

Here is the video:

Sachin was happy to contribute to a good cause. He also appealed from his fans to donate as much as they can. 

After facing Perry and Sutherland, the cricketing legend jokingly said he took time to figure out the ball, forget about hitting. "Yesterday I figured out I could see the ball. At least I'm seeing the ball, I'm not too sure about hitting it or not!", he said.
