    As usual...Sachin hit an unbeaten century to save the match for India. He was presented the MoM by some guy X. The next day, the Manchester Police issued a warning notice to X and also said that they would not consider this as a serious offense just because of the situation this time.
    Put fundae.

    PS: no need to find X(i dont know his name).

    Sparky cracks it...
    The guy X presented Sachin with champagne as the MoM. Since Sachin was minor then and it was illegal to provide a minor with alcohol, the police dropped in.

      At 17 years and 112 days, he was only 30 days older than Mushtaq Mohammad was when, against India at Delhi in 1960-61, he became the youngest player to score a Test hundred...

      nice question man!!
      but cracked it!
      A bottle of champagne was given as the man of the match award and sachin was a minor then. It is legally forbidden to give alcohol to a minor.
