Sachin Tendulkar retired from all forms of cricket in 2013
Sachin Tendulkar was and will always continue to be the master of batting against all odds for his die-hard fans. However, on Wednesday, Sachin Tendulkar proved that he is a master of sassy replies too. In a video posted on Twitter, Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli were seen hitting the nets at the Tendulkar-Middlesex Global Academy camp in Navi Mumbai with the Master Blaster bowling a couple of trademark leg spin deliveries. The video showed that Tendulkar had overstepped while bowling a delivery and the official Twitter handle of the International Cricket Council (ICC) did not miss the opportunity to troll the legendary cricketer. "Watch your front foot, @sachin_rt ??," ICC wrote with a picture of umpire Steve Bucknor.
