July 3rd 2023.
Sachin Tendulkar, the former Indian batting maestro, recently shared three pictures of his vacation to Kenya on his official Instagram handle. The 50-year-old had a great time as he was welcomed with a guard of honour from the locals, and even danced with them to celebrate his achievements as a cricketer.
The post accumulated over a million likes and comments within a day, and it was accompanied by pictures of Tendulkar, his wife, and his daughter enjoying a Safari and spotting animals like Cheetah, Ostrich, and Giraffe.
Tendulkar was also active on social media during the ICC World Test Championship final between India and Australia. He praised Steve Smith and Travis Head for setting up the game on day 1 and questioned Ravichandran Ashwin's exclusion. The 200-Test veteran reasoned that skilful spinners do not always rely on turning tracks to make things happen.
The right-handed batter retired in 2013 as the most prolific run-getter in both Test and ODI cricket. He had 15921 runs in 200 Tests, and 18426 in 463 ODIs after making his international debut in 1989. He is also the most-capped player in both formats.
Tendulkar was unable to hold the coveted World Cup Trophy until 2011, as India lost the previous five editions he played in, including the 2003 final. However, India won the 2011 World Cup and the Mumbai-born batter was the second-highest run-getter in the tournament with 482 runs in 9 matches at 53.55. The 40th anniversary of India's 1983 World Cup triumph was celebrated with tributes to Tendulkar, along with other stalwarts like Yuvraj Singh.
