Sachin Tendulkar amazed after fan compares his 1992 WC catch to Sanju Samson's grab: Watch

Former Indian cricket captain Sachin Tendulkar is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time. Such was the aura of his batsmanship that his talents in other aspects of the game were often overshadowed by his captivating magic with the bat. Apart from being a world-conqueror with the bat and a useful commodity with his leg breaks, Sachin Tendulkar was also an agile fielder who performed quite a few fielding spectacles during his playing days.

On Wednesday, September 30, Rajasthan player Sanju Samson plucked a sensational running catch at deep backward square during their game against Kolkata in the ongoing Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season. The moment prompted Sachin Tendulkar to reminisce his own catch from the 1992 World Cup match against West Indies due to the striking similarities between the two snares. Quite recently, a fan shared a side-by-side comparison of the two moments of on-field brilliance which evoked a delightful response from the batting icon himself.
