They managed to get a ticket from the England vs India match in 1990 where Tendulkar scored his first Test century and it was autographed by the master himself.
Tendulkar has always enjoyed the love and support he received from his fans during his career and even beyond that and has always acknowledged that it’s the constant support and prayers from the fans that has kept him going for 24 years.
As soon as Tendulkar came across the tweet said that such lovely gestures from his fans have kept him going from the start of his career to the day when he is a retired cricketer. Even after his retirement the “Little Master” is still one of the most loved cricketers not only in India but all around the world.
Sachin Tweeted quoting the original post and wrote – ‘Gestures like these have kept me going right from my #MaidenCentury till date. Thanks for the love all these years!’
The “Mumbaikar” played his last Test in front of his home crowd in the year 2012. After retiring from all forms of cricket Tendulkar participated in the bicentenary celebration match at Lord’s which marked the 200th year of the iconic ground.
