The world is celebrating father's day today and so is arguably the greatest batsman cricket has ever seen. On father's day, Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar paid respect to his father, the late Ramesh Tendulkar, by posting an image on twitter.
An emotional Tendulkar tweeted - "The special man in each of our lives- Father."
Tendulkar shared a deep bond with his father and has often said that his father was the person who moulded him into a better human being.
Tendulkar's father died in 1999 when India were playing the World Cup in England. He came back to Mumbai, performed the last rights of his father and then returned to slam a hundred against Kenya at Bristol.
Tendulkar, himself is known to be a loving father and has two kids - Sarah and Arjun.
