What more can I ask for on my birthday ? Thank you so much @sachin_rt 😍😍 Love you Thalaivaaa !! @100MasterBlastr 🙏

The first ball always makes your heart race… and that night, it never stopped. 15 years later, it still stays with us. We all grew up as a bunch of young cricketers, united by one dream. To win the World Cup for India. To everyone who was a part of the journey, and to all the fans…thank you for sharing it with us and making it so special. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Sachin Tendulkar once shared that he used to visit the temple before every match, often at 3-4 AM, drink water from the tap for energy, and pray to Ganesha. What started as a habit became a ritual he followed until his final game in 2013.

Monday Motivation In 2001, a mix-up between Sachin Tendulkar and V. V. S. Laxman led to Tendulkar getting run out after Laxman refused a run. Sachin was furious in the moment. Later, his brother Ajit Tendulkar reminded him that such reactions only hurt the team’s morale. The next day, Sachin walked up to Laxman, cracked a joke about the incident, and said: sometimes everyone needs an elder to keep them in check. A small reminder - self-reflection and humility make great players even greater. 🙌

Meet Sachin Tendulkar – the man who keeps shaping Indian cricket quietly. • He suggested MS Dhoni’s name for captaincy to the BCCI and he went on to become India’s most successful captain. • He helped Yuvraj Singh come out of a difficult mental phase, and in the 2011 World Cup he was named Player of the Tournament. • After Virat Kohli struggled during the 2014 England tour, Sachin guided him and in the very next series in Australia, Kohli scored a mountain of runs. • When Suresh Raina was going through a rough phase, Sachin called him to Mumbai, supported him and helped him regain belief in himself. Soon after Raina’s fortunes changed. • Before the 2025 England tour, he encouraged Shubman Gill. Gill went on to score 754 runs, becoming India’s highest run-scorer on that tour and surpassing Sunil Gavaskar’s 732 runs. • He called Harmanpreet Kaur before a World Cup final and told her: “Whenever you feel the game slipping away from your control, try to slow things down.” • Shafali Varma later revealed after a World Cup while she was taking POTM IN THE final that she was in constant touch with Sachin sir, who kept motivating her. Greatness is not just what you achieve. It’s what others achieve because of you. Take A Bow Master ♥️🇮🇳

Not in Mumbai to witness the celebration happening outside my house and all over the country. What an evening it has been. Incredible work, Team India. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Those, who have seen Tendulkar through nineties, feel as if it was a wedding of their own son and as if Sara is their own kid. This is the kind of respect and adulation, Tendulkar enjoys from Millenials and Boomers. Nobody can match his Aura.

#Parasakthi : Teriffic first half, terrible second half! Went to watch the movie which was against Hindi imposition but for audience like me it was more of a Telugu imposition on us 🤷🏻‍♂️

He did this at 37 btw. Imagine starting as a 16 year old & scoring tons in the toughest conditions as a teenager and then doing this. Ridiculous longevity.

#Dhurandhar is a definite theatrical watch! Amazing making and music… 👏

After watching the events in Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. It was clear that while Messi met many celebrities, he seemed to ignore most of them. but when he met Sachin Tendulkar, the respect was unmistakable. A true GOAT recognizing another GOAT 🐐

Must say, today was a 10/10 day Leo Messi 😉

Why to waste 10 lakh rupees for clicking a picture with #LeoMessi when @GeminiApp can get you for free of cost @GoogleIndia #MessiInIndia 😄

“I was invited to his house once, and had to ask Tendulkar why is it that you can’t take telephone calls from anybody? And he said, ‘Now see what happens’. And he put his phone down, pre-mobile era, he put his phone down and it started to ring, because his father’s number was in the telephone directory.” ~ Harsha Bhogle (Such was the extraordinary public fascination with Sachin even at the age of 15.) #Throwback to one of the most beautiful stories from Tendulkar’s teenage days.

Best prank of the year 😂😂😂😂

What more could one ask for in life than having your idol share your post celebrating your love for him? Truly surreal. Sachinism forever 🙏💙 @sachin_rt

When @sachin_rt sir spots three Tendulkar’s in one single frame 😬😬

10/10 on 10.10 🗓️ God has been Kind 🙏 @sachin_rt
