Sachin Tendulkar took to social media to wish his aunt on her birthday with a moving post.

Sachin, in an earlier interview, had revealed that he had lived in his aunt’s house next to Shivaji Park, a place that shaped him as a cricketer.
“In fact, to ensure that I spent more time practising at Shivaji Park, I moved to my aunt’s place from my parent’s house. It was a difficult decision at that time for me, but my family ensured that I managed to adapt to the change for my future,” Sachin had told Hindustan Times.
In a video posted on Facebook, Sachin had also revealed how his aunt had helped him master his backfoot.
“This is the same apartment where I spent four years of my school days. I grew up here and the same room where I used to practice backfoot soft-hand defence and that time I used to practice with a golf ball. And my aunt, who is sitting at the same spot, used to throw the ball at me to bat,” Sachin was quoted as saying in the video.
“In the same room, I used to hang a seasoned ball in the room with the help of a sock and practice for hours. It’s nice to see my aunt, who is holding a seasoned ball, is willing to chuck few balls at me even at this age,” he added.
Sachin Tendulkar Career
Sachin is widely celebrated as one of the greatest cricketers of all time and is revered in India as the “God of Cricket.” A prodigy, he debuted for India at just sixteen against Pakistan in 1989. Over his 24-year career, Tendulkar scored a record 34,357 runs in 664 international matches. He remains the only player to score 100 international centuries and is the highest run-scorer in both Tests and ODIs. Tendulkar was part of India’s 2011 World Cup-winning team and was named Player of the Tournament in the 2003 edition. His career also saw him lift the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy.
