Renowned cricketer Sachin Tendulkar visited the Surya Temple in Jammu & Kashmir to seek blessings on Thursday, February 22. This visit occurred two days after his arrival in Kashmir, a prominent destination in India. The 50-year-old is enjoying his inaugural trip to the union territory.

In a video circulating on X (formerly Twitter), a priest, self-identified as a big fan of Tendulkar, touched the cricketer’s feet. Tendulkar, often referred to as the ‘God of Cricket,’ responded promptly with a hand-folding gesture while bowing his head. The priest remarked:

“Ham bahot bade fan hai aapke, ham yahan ke pandit ji hai (I am huge fan of you, I am the priest here).”

Subsequently, Tendulkar participated in rituals within the temple, guided by the priest. His wife, Anjali, and daughter, Sara, accompanied him during the visit.

On Wednesday, Sachin Tendulkar engaged in street cricket with his fans in Gulmarg and visited the Kashmir willow bat factory. On Tuesday, he shared an aerial video before arriving in Kashmir. During the flight, he received ‘Sachin, Sachin’ chants from fellow passengers and the crew.

“An emphatic all-round performance” –Sachin Tendulkar responds to India’s significant victory against England in the 3rd Test

Sachin Tendulkar recently praised India for their remarkable 434-run victory over England in the third Test in Rajkot, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.

He commended the team for their dominance, highlighting that the Rohit Sharma-led side was the first to declare against England under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. This defeat also marked England’s most substantial loss in the Bazball era.

Tendulkar expressed his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter):

“An emphatic all-round performance with bat, ball and on the field by #TeamIndia. So happy to see such a dominating performance. Well done!”

Tendulkar also offered special commendation to Ravichandran Ashwin, who achieved the milestone of becoming the second Indian bowler to secure 500 wickets in Tests. He shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter):

“500 Test wickets for a one-in-a-million bowler! In AshWIN the SpinNER, there was always a WINNER. 500 wickets is a huge milestone in Test cricket. Congratulations, Champion!”

Tendulkar expressed equal delight with Yashasvi Jaiswal’s double century and debutant Sarfaraz Khan’s twin half-centuries. He conveyed his sentiments on X (formerly Twitter):

“Double hundred, Double fifty. This duo of Yashasvi & Sarfaraz has been double trouble for England. I couldn’t watch them play live, but was very pleased to hear about their knocks. Keep it up!”
