In an Instagram post, the 74-year-old cricket legend expressed his delight at being at the station named after his favorite cricketer and person, Sachin Tendulkar.
The post featured a picture from Sachin railway station, a modest station in Surat with three platforms, situated on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad-Jaipur-Delhi main line. Gavaskar marveled at the foresight of those in the last century who chose to name the railway station after Sachin Tendulkar, recognizing him as one of the all-time greats of the game.
Gavaskar’s caption read: “What foresight of those in the last century to name a railway station near Surat after one of the all-time greats of our game and my favorite cricketer but more importantly my favorite person.”
This moment holds special significance for cricket enthusiasts, highlighting the deep admiration and camaraderie between cricketing legends. Gavaskar’s acknowledgment of Tendulkar’s influence not just as a cricketer but also as a person adds a personal touch to the post.
Sachin Tendulkar, who retired as one of the most celebrated cricketers globally, achieved several milestones in his illustrious career, including becoming the first player to score 100 international centuries. Gavaskar, with his own stellar cricketing achievements, has remained actively involved in the cricket community, primarily as a commentator.
This delightful interaction between two cricketing legends showcases the enduring impact Sachin Tendulkar has had on the cricketing world, even beyond his playing days.
