He was gunning for Sachin Tendulkar’s wicket ever since Highveld Lions were drawn to play Mumbai Indians in Champions League T20 and so thrilled was little-known spinner Aaron Phangiso after getting the prized scalp that he remained up all night to celebrate.
Lions defeated the defending champions by eight wickets with seven balls to spare last night. Aaron’s lone contribution to his team’s winning cause was dismissing Tendulkar for a mere 16. The victory dance that followed the dismissal showed what it meant for the hardly-known Aaron to dismiss the revered Indian veteran.
‘I enjoyed that wicket especially being one the greatest batsman in the world, Sachin Tendulkar; I enjoyed that a lot. Celebration is definitely going to continue for me. We are going to celebrate. It is a big game for us, and a big win. No, I am not going to sleep. I am just going to enjoy this moment,’ he said.
