VIDEO: Watch Kiran More kick Sachin Tendulkar

Watch Kiran More kick Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar did not believe in outrageous celebrations, but lived in an era when new-age celebrations, particularly at the fall of wickets, took shape. From hi-fives to chicken dances to helicopter runs, cricketers have celebrated in all possible ways, often alone but sometimes with teammates. However, in this video, Kiran More took things to different level. He kicked a young Tendulkar on the field immediately after the latter took a wicket. Further details are not available, but from the commentary we can make out that Tendulkar was bowling and the batsman hit the ball to Mohammad Azharuddin, who took a brilliant catch.

Imagine a contemporary cricketer kicking Virat Kohli while celebrating. Or perhaps MS Dhoni. The thought makes one shudder…
