[Saba Sports News] On a recent flight to Kashmir, Sachin Tendulkar was warmly welcomed by passengers with enthusiastic “Sachin-Sachin” chants, a moment that quickly captured the internet’s attention. This incident vividly illustrates the enduring adoration and respect Sachin commands from fans globally.
As he made his way into the airplane, the cricket legend acknowledged the cheers and applause with a gracious wave and a namaste, a gesture that was met with numerous cameras capturing the heartfelt scene. The online community lavished praise on Sachin for his humility and the authentic rapport he shares with his admirers.
In another heartwarming interaction, Sachin extended his best wishes to Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma on the birth of their second child, Akaay, on February 15. Sachin shared a message on X, celebrating the new addition to their family and expressing his hopes for the joy and laughter Akaay will bring into their lives. His message highlighted the warmth and camaraderie that exists among cricketers off the field.
“Congratulations to Virat and Anushka on the arrival of Akaay, a precious addition to your beautiful family! Just like his name lights up the room, may he fill your world with endless joy and laughter. Here’s to the adventures and memories you’ll cherish forever. Welcome to the world, little champ,” Sachin posted.
As for Virat Kohli, he has remained out of the public eye following his withdrawal from the England series and has not specified when he will return to action. However, he is expected to join the Royal Challengers Bangalore for the IPL 2024.
His future in the T20I squad remains uncertain, with BCCI secretary Jay Shah indicating that a decision will be made in due time.
Rajat Patidar, who stepped in for Virat in the Test squad, faces his own challenges in securing his spot, particularly with Devdutt Padikkal as a contender for his position. This development underscores the competitive nature of cricket, where players continuously strive for excellence and secure their places in the team.
