India Legends defeated Sri Lankan Legends in the final of the Road Safety World Series 2022 (RSWS 2022) to defend their title. Naman Ojha starred in the summit clash with a scintillating century helping the Indian side put on 195/6 in 20 overs.
Naman Ojha completed his century on the first ball of the 20th over, which he hit for a six. Irfan Pathan made 36 in 21 balls, while Ojha hit 2 sixes and 15 fours in his 71-ball knock.
After reaching his century, Naman Ojha took a bow towards Sachin Tendulkar, who was sitting in the dugout and applauding his knock. This reminded fans of Virat Kohli, who had done the same after reaching his fifty against Pakistan in the 2016 T20 World Cup match in Kolkata.

Meanwhile chasing a target of 196, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 162 in 18.5 overs, despite a knock of 51 runs off 22 balls by Ishan Jayaratne. Vinay Kumar was in excellent form for India and took three wickets.
After the match, Sachin Tendulkar posted a tweet in which he lauded all the India Legends players for their contribution to the title win.
He posted: "For India then, now & forever! A fantastic effort from the team to win the #RoadSafetyWorldSeries once again. The way @namanojha35 batted last night was simply brilliant. This is for all my teammates and amazing fans!"
