Sachin Tendulkar is no stranger to making comebacks. In his decades- long illustrious career, the maestro would always let his bat do the talking to silence critics. Recently, Sachin Tendulkar was delighted to be back in the nets after a long time with his old friend and teammate Vinod Kambli and took to Twitter to share a clip of the happy moment.
“Felt great to be back in the nets with @vinodkambli349 during the @tendulkarmga lunch break!
It sure took us back to our childhood days at Shivaji Park... Very few people know that Vinod & I have always been in the same team and never played against each other,” he wrote on Twitter along with a video showing him rolling over his arm and playing some exquisite shots in the nets.
The International Cricket Council, however, tried to troll him by asking the little master to watch his front foot, as the nearly minute-long clip showed him overstepping the bowling crease quite a few times.
The ICC also posted a picture of West Indian umpire Steve Bucknor signaling a no-ball along with a screengrab of Tendulkar overstepping the crease. But the ICC’s bid to tease the little master— Tendulkar was a victim of Bucknor’s controversial umpiring decisions on several occasions— didn’t work at all as Tendulkar made a witty comeback.
“At least this time I am bowling and not batting .. umpire’s decision is always the final decision,” he replied.
Clearly, Sachin had the last laugh!
