Watch: Sachin Tendulkar Plays Cricket, Gets Surprised By Bollywood Stars

Sachin Tendulkar, on National Sports Day, tweeted a video where he took some time out from a shooting stint to play cricket with the crew members, giving them a special moment to cherish. The experience for the crew members became even more special when Bollywood stars Varun Dhawan and Abhishek Bachchan also joined in. This was a surprise not only for the crew members but also Sachin Tendulkar who greeted both the stars warmly. "It's always good to mix work with play. Had a lot of fun playing cricket with the crew during a shoot & was pleasantly surprised with @Varun_dvn dropping by along with @juniorbachchan who joined us for some time. #SportPlayingNation #FitIndiaMovement," Tendulkar tweeted.

As the video progressed, Sachin is seen gently asking Varun, "We are planning to play cricket, are you keen to join", to which the Judwaa 2 star agreed instantly.

The game started with Sachin taking the strike and Varun bowling. After that Abhishek Bachchan also bowled a couple of deliveries to the Master Blaster. When a ball bounced awkwardly, Tendulkar jokingly said, "it's a dangerous wicket".

After completing his batting, Sachin hands the ball to a budding cricketer Jeeya and encourages her with his motivating words.

Varun Dhawan who had a lot of fun during the match expressed this by replying to Sachin's tweet. Varun also praised the Sachin for his wonderful initiative.

"#SportPlayingNation what a brilliant initiative this is sir. Had a lot of fun running into you that day sir," Varun replied.
