Virat Kohli dashes Sachin Tendulkar’s hopes of playing in IPTL

Indian Test captain Virat Kohli has a habit of breaking hearts. He did break millions of hearts when he professed his commitment for Anushka Sharma. The latest, he has broken a certain Sachin Tendulkar’s heart.

It is no secret that the master has a liking for tennis and its legend Roger Federer. He even makes it a point to catch him play live whenever has time.  So, when his Team India junior announced his co-ownership of UAE Royals team in the International Premier Tennis League (IPTL), Tendulkar, like an over-enthusiastic fan, wrote Twitter:

Hey @imVkohli, I want to play!

But Kohli was prompt to turn down his hero’s request. He made it clear through his tweet that it was a different ball game. Kohli replied:

Not sure you have what it takes @sachin_rt paaji!

He might want that to be taken on a lighter note, but he must keep himself ready for the wrath from Tendulkar fans.
