India Legends defeated West Indies Legends by 12 runs in a thriller semi-final of the Road Safety World Series on Wednesday (March 17). It was a nerve-wracking game with a last-over finish as West Indies nearly pulled off a 219-run chase.

Virender Sehwag, who is a part of India Legends, posted a meme after the match which featured former cricketer and Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Sehwag told fans to not to tremble despite a high-voltage finish. "End mein Thoda dhak dhak hua Par Aapne Ghabrana Nahi hai", he wrote and attached Khan's picture.

Batting first, India Legends had posted 218/3, and every batsman who walked out to bat had a contribution. Sehwag gave a good start with a 17-ball 35 runs and captain Sachin Tendulkar added 65, the top-scorer for the team. 

Yuvraj Singh (49*) and Yusuf Pathan (37*) ended the innings on a high and it did make the difference eventually. Yuvraj smashed six sixes in his 20-ball stay and four of them came in one over against Mahendra Nagamootoo.

At one stage, West Indies looked favorite to win the match but things changed dramatically in the penultimate over of Vinay Kumar. He dismissed Brian Lara on 46 (28) and then Tino Best on the last ball of the over, giving just 8 runs.

They needed 17 runs in the final over and with no firepower left, it was done and dusted for West Indies. India Legends won the match to secure a place in the final.
