Sachin Tendulkar turns 'Salt Bae' as Master Blaster dons chef hat, asks what's cooking

India's Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar on Friday shared a never-seen-before avatar of himself as he took to social media to flaunt his cooking skills on Friday. Sachin Tendulkar shared a video of himself whipping up a dish for breakfast. Sachin Tendulkar shared the video with the caption stating, 'Say Hi to your chef for today! Guess what's cooking?'

In the video, 'Chef' Sachin Tendulkar can be seen cooking with full enthusiasm and hilariously saying 'It's a surprise for everyone, nobody knows what I am cooking, neither do I'. Sachin then flips the Omelette which at times can be tricky for beginners and jokingly says 'See this is what I have mastered'. 

While cooking breakfast, Sachin Tendulkar also pulls out the signature style of Turkish Chef famously known as 'Salt Bae'. Salt Bae's actual name is Nusret Gökçe and is quite famous on social media as well. Nusret Gökçe became an Internet phenomenon after he posted an Instagram video of himself slicing a steak and then fancifully sprinkling salt onto it. Since then, he’s been dubbed as 'Salt Bae'.
