[Watch] Sachin Tendulkar plays gully cricket in Kashmir’s Gulmarg
Sachin Tendulkar is spending quality time during his first-ever trip to Kashmir. The legendary cricketer played gully cricket with the locals in Gulmarg in a recent video doing the rounds on social media.
The video surfaced a day after Tendulkar shared a video from the plane after landing at the most sought-after destinations in India.
IANS, a news agency, shared a video of Tendulkar playing gully cricket on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:
“Sachin Tendulkar engages in a spirited game of gully cricket with local youngsters during his visit to Gulmarg.”
Earlier in the day, a video went viral on social media where passengers and crew onboard the flight chanted ‘Sachin Sachin’ to celebrate his presence.
The 50-year-old also visited the Kashmir willow bat factory, revealing that it was the first bat gifted by his sister.
He shared a video with the caption:
“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?”
