Australia's limited-overs captain Aaron Finch opened up on his experience of opening the batting with India great Sachin Tendulkar during the Lord's Bicentenary celebration match in 2014. Finch admitted that he was extremely nervous about not getting Tendulkar run out throughout the 'master blaster's' whole innings.

Finch and Tendulkar added 107 runs for the opening wicket with the former Indian batsman scoring 44
�All I was thinking was don�t run him out. Just do not run Sachin out. I think it was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, crowds that Lord�s has ever had. It was a huge anniversary, Sachin�s captaining one team, Warnie�s [Warne] captaining the other,� Finch said during a conversation on Sony Ten Pit Stop.


�That was a huge day. I think there was a huge Indian presence at the ground too, they were very loud. Obviously, the chants of �Sachin-Sachin� going up all around Lord�s. And I just kept thinking, �If I run him out, I would never hear the end of this. I might not get out of Lord�s.
