Sachin Tendulkar known for his humble behaviour on and off-field once again proved his modesty when Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan him “great” and also said, he should not be placed on the level of the cricketing legend. Bachchan tweeted a picture featuring him along side Tendulkar and famous singer Lata Mangeshkar. That picture was clicked from a wall in one of Ahmedabad’s streets. Bachchan said, “A street wall in Ahmedabad .. !! That guy in the middle should not be there, among the 2 greats !! To which Tendulkar replied, “There is only one guy who is now referred as ‘former’! Inspirational and timeless @SrBachchan and @mangeshkarlata.”
Tendulkar is considered one of the best batsmen cricket ever had across the globe, having scored over 15000 runs in both Tests and ODIs. He is the only batsman in history to have scored 100 international centuries. On the other hand, Bachchan and Lata are always kept on the top when Bollywood actors are discussed. However, Bachchan is the only one of the trio to have not been awarded the Bharat Ratna yet.

Tendulkar recently was in news when he backed the young Team India to win the upcoming ICC World T20 2016, which is being hosted by India. “The T20 World Cup in India is going to be really, really big. Last year I was ambassador for the ICC World Cup and had to be discreet. So I said the defending champion will win. Now that I’m not an ambassador, I can say it’s going to be India all the way.”
