Sachin Tendulkar is hailed and worshiped in India as the God of cricket. He has been a faithful servant of Indian Cricket for over 20 years and continues to be adored by fans all over the world.

Recently, a heart touching incident involving Tendulkar happened on a flight where when the fans spotted him and started singing the famous chant of “Sachin, Sachin” that reverberated through the flight. This famous chant would once reverberate through stadiums when he came to bat or if he was doing something else and if the camera panned on him for a second.

The video of the incident has gone viral on social media and the India legend later said that he could not stand up and acknowledge that in flight as the seatbelt sign was still on. He felt grateful for the rousing reception that the passengers gave him.

“Thank you to those on my flight who were chanting my name a little while ago, reminiscent of when I used to come out to bat. Unfortunately, the seatbelt sign was on so I could not stand up to greet you. So saying a big hello to all now,” He wrote in his tweet.

Here is the video-
