Naman Ojha was in fantastic form during the Road Safety World Series 2022 final, smashing an unbeaten knock of 108 runs off 71 balls at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, in Raipur on Saturday. His blistering knock also included 15 fours and two sixes as India Legends posted 195 for six in 20 overs.
The wicketkeeper-batter smacked a six in the first delivery of 19th over to reach his century, as the ball went over wide long on. After reaching his ton, the 39-year-old celebrated by bowing down towards the dugout and also received a motivational reaction from captain Sachin Tendulkar.
Here is the video of Ojha's celebration after reaching his century and Tendulkar's reaction:

Vinay Kumar played a crucial knock of 36 runs off 21 balls. Nuwan Kulasekara was in good form for Sri Lanka and took three wickets in three overs. Also, Udana bagged two dismissals for Sri Lanka.
