Earlier in the day, the cricketing great had also shared an emotional post remembering his late father. Uploading a video to pay tribute to his dad, he wrote:
“Every child's first Hero is his father. I was no different. Even today, I remember what he taught me, his unconditional love & how he let me find my own path. Happy Father's Day everyone!”

Tendulkar’s father passed away in 1999 when he was in England for the World Cup. He returned to India for his father's last rites, but immediately flew back to rejoin the Indian team.
“Don't put pressure on Arjun” - Kapil Dev on junior Tendulkar
Arjun has been part of the IPL franchise Mumbai Indians (MI) for the last two seasons but is yet to make his debut in the T20 league. Former India captain Kapil Dev agreed that the Tendulkar surname will put additional pressure on Arjun. Speaking on the YouTube channel ‘Uncut’, he said:
"Why is everyone talking about him? Because he is Sachin Tendulkar's son. Let him play his own cricket and do not compare with Sachin. To have a Tendulkar name has perks and disadvantages as well. Don Bradman's son changed his name because he could not soak that kind of pressure. He removed the surname Bradman because everyone expected him to turn out like his father.”
Urging everyone not to burden the Indian legend’s son with expectations, he added:
"He is a young boy. Who are we to say anything to him when he has the great Sachin as his father? But I would still just like to tell him one thing… Go and enjoy yourself. No need to prove anything. If you can become even 50 percent like your father… there is nothing better.”
22-year-old Arjun has featured in two T20 matches so far in which he has claimed two wickets and scored three runs.
