On the final ball of the over, Sachin playfully turned his bat upside down and challenged a boy by asking, “Ye out karna padega mujhe [You have to get me out now].” The bowler, however, failed to dismiss Sachin as the ex-India cricketer went on batting with sheer ease.

Sachin recently visited the Aman Setu bridge. A report published by The Times of India claimed that Sachin even interacted with the soldiers at the Kaman Post, near Aman Setu, as per officials.

Sachin also recently paid a visit to a cricket bat manufacturing factory in Charsoo on the Srinagar-Jammu highway. Having visited the factory, the former India skipper recalled the first piece of bat that he had got in his life. Sharing the anecdote on X, Sachin penned a heartfelt note.

“The first bat given to me was by my sister and it was a Kashmir willow bat. Ab main yahan hoon to Kashmir willow ko to milna banta hai! P.S: An interesting fact; some of my favourite bats had only about 5-6 grains. How many grains do your bats have,” read the post shared by Sachin.

A report published by PTI claimed that Sachin even interacted with the workers there. “We were busy making bats when a vehicle stopped at our gate. We were pleasantly surprised to find the Little Master and his family,” Mohammad Shaheen Parray, owner of MJ Sports, told PTI.

Sachin reportedly spent an hour over there and met a small bunch of fans as well.
