Sachin Tendulkar celebrates Raksha Bandhan with sister Savita

Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar celebrated the festival of Raksha Bandhan with his sister Savita on Saturday. In fact, years back it was Savita who gifted her kid brother with his first bat, a Kashmir willow — a gift he treasures even now. Tendulkar took to Twitter and posted pictures of him getting Rakhi tied to his wrist by his sister. He tweeted:

A thread which reminds each brother how blessed he is!! Happy Raksha Bandhan! pic.twitter.com/WwROtNxZQ5
