Taking to Twitter, on the occasion of on Bradman’s birth anniversary, Tendulkar, himself one of the greatest cricketers ever produced, shared a heartwarming post for the legend.

He wrote on Twitter, “A lot of people remember Sir Don Bradman for his extraordinary batting; I remember him more for his graciousness and sense of humour that I experienced when I had the privilege of spending some time with him in 1998,”
