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.
