Tendulkar is widely regarded as one of the greatest batters of all time.
Batting great Sachin Tendulkar recently delighted fans by turning an airplane cabin into a mini cricket ground. While flying with his family on a commercial aircraft, the Master Blaster grabbed a bat and joked that no matter the altitude, his attitude doesn't change and nobody can get him out.
The fun-filled mid-air match featured playful bowling and fielding from his daughter, Sara Tendulkar, and daughter-in-law, Saaniya Chandhok.
In a video post shared on X, Tendulkar confidently told them, "You guys would never be able to get me out". He jokingly added that the only remote possibility of them getting his wicket is if he bats using only the handle of the bat.
However, Saaniya was able to dismiss the legend as Sara took a catch just a few feet away inside the aisle.
The refreshing family interaction quickly took social media by storm, with millions of fans praising Tendulkar’s timeless passion for cricket and his witty sense of humour.
