Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar on Wednesday shared an “inspirational video” on his social media to help everyone start their New Year with a new spirit. He shared a video of a differently-abled boy named Madda Ram playing cricket with his friends. In the video, the boy was seen crawling for runs despite not having legs along with another boy.
“Start your 2020 with the inspirational video of this kid Madda Ram playing cricket with his friends. It warmed my heart and I am sure it will warm yours too,” Sachin Tendulkar tweeted.

In the video, the boy was seen standing on his knees, and then he hit the ball and crawls on the pitch to complete a single run, using his hands and knees only. After completing the run, he was seen crawling to the middle of the pitch to hand over the bat to the other player who supposed to take the strike after the single.

The 46-year-old Sachin Tendulkar had made his debut for India at the age of 16 way back in 1989. He amassed 34,357 runs across formats. The next player has 6,000 runs less than him and the second-placed player is none other than former Sri Lanka cricketer Kumar Sangakkara.
Considered as one of the greatest batsmen ever, Tendulkar holds the record of being the highest run-getter of all time in international cricket. He has notched up 18,426 runs in ODIs and 15,921 runs in Test matches as well. He was a part of India’s World Cup win in 2011 and now he is a mentor to the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
