Sachin Tendulkar is one of the biggest superstars of the cricket world. Around the world, he is regarded as the ‘God of Cricket’ because of his contribution to the cricket world. So many batting greats consider him as their role model and often give him credits for inspiring them.
Indian cricketer Suresh Raina recently revealed how he used to bunk school to watch Sachin Tendulkar bat, during the tournament in Sharjah.
Well, back then Sachin Tendulkar made a lot of noise with his scintillating and dominating performance of 131-ball 143. He had single-handedly smashed the Aussie attack to all corners, with 9 fours and 5 sixes and helped India not just qualify for the finals, but also win the tournament.
Recently, Suresh Raina revealed how they used to have a tv at home, with only Doordarshan channel on it and they used to bunk school to watch the Master Blaster bat. He revealed:
“We had TV at home, an Uptron, but with only Doordarshan on it. We used to bunk the last two periods of school because the tournament in Sharjah was going on. Sachin paaji used to open in that era. We used to watch only Sachin paaji’s batting or Dravid bhai’s. But once Sachin got out, we would leave.”
He added:
“We were just kids. I was just 12 at that time, used to study in seventh standard. Sachin Tendulkar was a big name.”
As soon as this revelation caught the eyes of Harbhajan Singh, he decided to troll Suresh Raina with a valid question. He retweeted a news article featuring Suresh Raina’s interview and asked him how he bunked his classes when the match started at 4 pm. He wrote:
“School bunk, how ? That game started at 4 pm indian time was part of the series”
