Former Indian cricket captain Sachin Tendulkar remained a mainstay of India’s batting order for 24 years. The cricketer entertained fans and single-handedly won matches for his country with his batting grace, all while maintaining a humble persona that served as an inspiration for generations of cricketers. While fans hardly get to see him bat again (barring occasional exhibition matches), the 2011 World Cup-winner continues to win hearts over by displaying his down-to-earth personality.
On Wednesday, November 25, Sachin Tendulkar shared a one-and-a-half-minute video of himself where he can be seen driving in the suburbs of Mumbai. The video, recorded back in January 2020, sees the former cricketer admitting to getting lost on a one-way street. He was then approached by an auto driver, who spotted him and offered him assistance to get onto the highway.
Once Sachin Tendulkar found his way back into the road, he thanked the auto driver in Marathi (named Mangesh) and greeted him for his help. The ‘Master Blaster’ also agreed to a selfie with the driver before taking off for his home. In the caption, Tendulkar wrote that “there’s no substitute for human touch”, despite of the excessive use of technology for navigation by people especially during “these tough times”.
