Tendulkar was absolutely brutal with his response that it made Kevin Pietersen laugh.
Sachin Tendulkar used to give very less chance to the bowlers if they had to get him out. The master had many on-field banters with the bowlers and ended up prevailing in most of them. Tendulkar's way of replying to the sledge or a staredown was always calm and composed. He barely reacted.
The former India cricketer always responded with a beautiful shot which even bowler, who was sledging him a couple of deliveries back, would enjoy watching. He has retired, but the charm remained the same. On the 24th of April, Sachin turned 46 and received a lot of wishes from his fans and admirers.
Among many tweets, there was one from English journalist Piers Morgan. Morgan is known for his jibe and leg-pulling tweets. The journo loves to engage in banter on social media. He leaves nothing to provoke others to come and get into a banter with him.
Morgan wished Sachin on his birthday with a cheeky tweet. He shared a selfie of him with Sachin, which also had Kevin Pietersen, Brian Lara, and Muttiah Muralitharan. He wrote, "Happy Birthday to the great @sachin_rt - whose career highlight was surely this selfie with four other cricketing legends?! @BrianLara @KP24 #Murali."
In reply, Sachin turned on his savage mode to take Morgan down. It was a hilarious reply and even KP couldn't help but laugh in the reply. "Totally agree @piersmorgan ????! But @BrianLara, @KP24, #Murali and I combined could never MATCH your record of 123K (and still counting ..) tweets????", he wrote.
