Sachin Tendulkar plays cricket with locals in Kashmir, shares heartfelt video
Veteran India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is enjoying his time with his family in Gulmarg, Kashmir while playing cricket with some locals on the streets. The now-retired cricketer spent some time off his travelling itinerary and indulged in playing cricket with the local fans, bringing smiles to everyone’s faces.
The World Cup winner with India, Sachin shared a heartfelt video on his social media on X (formerly known as Twitter), writing, Cricket & Kashmir: A MATCH in HEAVEN!’
Guarded from all corners as he should be, Sachin smiled and giggled with the locals while playing a few cheeky shots, including a sweep shot towards the finer fine-leg area.
In the video, Sachin also challenged the bowler to get him out on the last ball as he held the cricket bat upside down; the bowler, however, failed to get Little Master’s wicket.
Sachin got some pictures clicked with the locals later on.

Sachin’s family trip
Sachin, travelling to the picturesque Kashmir alongside his wife Anjali and daughter Sara, visited the Aman Setu Bridge - the last point on the Line of Control in the Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir. The Master Blaster interacted with the soldiers at the Kaman Post near Aman Setu, the officials said.
In Uri, he played gully cricket with some local fans as the younger boys happily noticed and learned from the best in the game.
Sachin also visited a cricket bat manufacturing unit at Chursoo on the Srinagar-Jammu national highway and even stopped by Pahalgam in southern Kashmir.
In another viral video on the internet, passengers on a flight were seen chanting ‘Sachin Sachin’ as he greeted everyone with utmost humbleness and respect, as he often does. His co-passengers clapping for him made Sachin visibly emotional.
Even after his retirement, Sachin remains the most influential figure in India and world cricket, continuing to associate himself with the Mumbai Indians franchise in the Indian Premier League as their icon.
The MI team retained Sachin’s son, Arjun Tendulkar, for the upcoming season, which gets underway on March 22 in Chennai. The schedule of the 17th season of IPL will be announced shortly.
