"It was evident this would be Virat's day...": Sachin Tendulkar on RCB opener's ton against Sunrisers Hyderabad
"It was evident that this would be Virat's day from the very first ball when he played that cover drive. Virat and Faf both looked in total control, they not only played many big shots but also ran rather well between the wickets to build a successful partnership. 186 wasn't a big enough total for the way they both batted," Sachin tweeted.
