Karan Gandhi, currently based in the US, sent a hand-written letter to Sachin Tendulkar on Instagram and asking for a signed letter from the batting legend in return.
Sachin, currently the Mumbai Indians’ icon, posted it on Instagram with a personal message that has already led to over 60,000 likes (at last count) with comments from other fans world over, hoping to get Sachin to respond to them too!
Karan wrote in his letter: “I grew up seeing you play cricket, I missed countless tuition classes to watch you play day and night ODIs in India.”
Sachin Tendulkar, as witty as ever, made this fan’s day with his response: “I’m sure your childhood tuition teacher mustn’t have been too happy when ODI matches were on,” after thanking Karan for the letter.
Sachin, who has been associated with the Indian Premier League (IPL) since the very beginning in 2007, must be extremely happy that Mumbai Indians are currently atop the points table with eight points from five matches that include only one loss.
