Sachin Tendulkar creates huge buzz on Twitter, reveals his message to Virat Kohli during ODI World Cup 2011 final

In his debut #AskSachin Q&A session on Twitter, former India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar revealed the message he shared with Virat Kohli during the ICC ODI World Cup final in 2011. Notably, while chasing 275 runs at the Wankhede Stadium against Sri Lanka, India lost two quick wickets of Virender Sehwag and Tendulkar. Meanwhile, during his walk back to the pavilion, the ‘Master Blaster’ was spotted sharing something with Kohli which he eventually revealed on April 21, 2023 - 12 years after the incident.

Tendulkar on his Twitter handle stated that he informed Kohli that the ball was still swinging and he should play accordingly. Notably, batting at number four, the cricketer scored 35 runs off 49 deliveries and even though he failed to capitalize on his start, Virat laid the foundation for a historic win in favour of the MS Dhoni-led side.

“Ab bhi ball thoda swing ho raha hai!” Sachin revealed when he was asked about the message he shared with Kohli on the big night.
