It so happened that Sachin had seen former English skipper Michael Vaughan's tweet in which he had posted a picture of a person who is probably a county player wearing the Yorkshire cap.

The Little Master also went on to tag Yorkshire Cricket Club as well.

Meanwhile, the Ashes 2005 winning captain replied to Tendulkar by assuring him that he would bring one to the IPL if and when it gets the go-ahead this year.
