He also ended his career as the highest run-scorer in the ODI format with 18426 runs. Apart from his achievements on the field, Sachin is also known for being active on social media. Recently, the former batter took the internet by storm after he posted a picture with Anil Kumble and Yuvraj Singh in Goa.
Taking to Instagram, Sachin posted a picture with his former teammates, giving a reference of the 2001 cult-classic movie, Dil Chahta Hai. “Our Dil Chahta Hai moment in Goa! Who do you think is Akash, Sameer and Sid?” Sachin captioned the picture. Dil Chahta Hai is a Bollywood movie, released in 2001 and stars Aamir Khan, Akshay Khanna, and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles.
The picture soon went viral on the social media platform and India batter Suryakumar Yadav wrote a brilliant comment on the post, “With due respect AKASH SID SAMEER.”
