Vinod Kambli touches Sachin Tendulkar’s feet in Mumbai T20 League

Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli have been friends for nearly three decades. From the cricketing perspective, the duo has shared some pleasant memories and the world was a witness for some of it. They were involved in the partnership of 664 runs playing for the Shardashram Vidyamandir against St Xavier’s High School, Fort, in the Harris Shield semi-final played at Sassanian Ground at Azad Maidan.

Both of them also played together for the Indian team for quite a while. However, the friendship has also seen some turbulent times. In 2014, Kambli accused Tendulkar of not lending a helping hand when the left-handed batsman tried to resurrect his career. Even Tendulkar didn’t mention Kambli’s name during his farewell speech following his retirement at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Nevertheless, they decided to quash all qualms and restored their friendship. They exchanged a heartfelt gesture for each other during the recently concluded Mumbai T20 League. During the post-match ceremony after the Final, Kambli went forward and touched the Master Blaster’s feet following which they hugged each other.

Sachin Tendulkar was the brand ambassador of the tournament while Vinod Kambli was the mentor of the Sivaji Park Lions. Even Arjun Tendulkar, Sachin’s son, was slated to take part in the tournament. However, he ruled himself out prior to the tournament as he was working on his bowling action.

The Triumph Knights won the tournament by beating the Sivaji Park Lions by three runs in a thrilling encounter. The Knights posted a competitive total of 182 for 5 on the board. However, Suryakumar Yadav played a whirlwind knock of 90 not out. The target was daunting bearing in mind the importance of the contest. However, Sivaji Park stumbled along and eventually fell short of the target.
