ICC Hall of Famer and former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar spent World Children's Day in the best possible manner he could - by playing cricket with children in Nepal. The 'Master Blaster', who is the ambassador of UNICEF for South Asia, took to Twitter to share his experience during his recent visit to Nepal. Sachin Tendulkar said that he had a wonderful time playing cricket with the young children and that sports had the ability to teach a lot about lives as well as shape the personalities. As a sportsman and as a UNICEF ambassador, Sachin Tendulkar has always voiced for a child's right to play as he believes that a sport has the power to change the lives of the children.
Sachin Tendulkar's day out with bat, ball & kids
'Sachin Sachin'
You have heard that right. There were chants of 'Sachin Sachin' on November 16, 2013, when Sachin Tendulkar's memorable career came to an end in his own backyard, Wankhede Stadium which also happened to be his 200th Test match. In his final Test match, Sachin Tendulkar fell agonizingly short of what would have been a well-deserved century. He was dismissed for 74 by Darren Sammy off Narsingh Deonarine and there was pin-drop silence on the ground as the crowd had probably sensed that the Master Blaster would be seen on the ground for one final time. That is exactly what had happened as India did not have to bat again after they had posted a mammoth total of 495 in the first innings which proved to be more than enough as West Indies failed to offer any resistance and India registered a comprehensive win by an innings and 126 runs.
