Meanwhile, the Mumbai-born cricketer had recently engaged with fans in a casual Q&A session on the social media platform of Reddit. Tendulkar had gracefully answered several questions from the fans, regarding his personal life and from his playing days.
Having retired from international cricket in 2013, Tendulkar still remains active as far as the competitive side of the sport is concerned.

As far as international cricket goes, Tendulkar is the custodian of several records, including the most-capped player in Test and ODI cricket. Having played at the top level for 24 years, the 52-year-old is also the leading century-maker in Tests.
