‘Aadhar bhi bheju kya?’: Sachin Tendulkar Silences Fan with Hilarious Comment
Sachin Tendulkar, the cricketing legend fondly called the “Master Blaster,” gave his fans a dose of laughter during a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Monday. While engaging with fans about his cricketing journey and life beyond the pitch, one moment stood out. A user doubted if it was really Tendulkar behind the account, requesting a voice note for proof. In his witty style, the 52-year-old shot back, “Abhi Aadhar bhi bheju kya?” (Should I also send my Aadhaar card?). The cheeky reply instantly went viral, showing the lighter side of India’s biggest cricket icon. Tendulkar even shared a photo of himself pointing to the fan’s question on a large screen, making the exchange more memorable.
Throughout the AMA, Tendulkar balanced humour with reflection. When asked whether West Indies or Australia had the better bowling attack, he cleverly dodged, quipping, “Why? Are you intending to play them?” However, he also gave fans glimpses into his career highlights. He named his 2008 Chennai innings against England as his favourite and recalled taking calculated risks to disrupt bowlers’ rhythm, citing his bold approach against Glenn McGrath in Nairobi, 2000. Tendulkar also confirmed the long-discussed story that he had advised MS Dhoni’s promotion in the 2011 World Cup final. He explained the strategy behind the move: Dhoni’s familiarity with Muralitharan from Chennai Super Kings and the tactical advantage of a left-right combination against spin.
The session gave fans more than cricket anecdotes—it revealed Tendulkar’s trademark humility, humour, and sharp cricketing mind. From candid admissions to playful one-liners, the AMA became a delightful reminder of why Tendulkar continues to be loved not only as a cricketer but also as a personality who connects effortlessly with fans.
