Sachin Tenulkar, India and Mumbai Indians opener, warns fans and people not to challenge him over a game of Table Tennis, as he is pretty decent in the indoor game.
As a youngster, Sachin played table tennis with friends, after completing cricket net sessions, both in the morning and in the evening.
Once Sachin broke his thumb and he couldn't play as his arm was in cast. At that time watching his friends play table tennis made Sachin uncomfortable and he started practicing with his left hand. And later on he could play table tennis with his left hand too.
Sachin says he may not be a champion player but a decent one.
