Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has always been known for taking some time for his die-hard fans. Recently, he promised to meet one of his ardent fans.

Rajudas Rathode had uttered his adulation for Tendulkar during the popular Indian game show ”Kaun Banega Crorepati”. The contestant won the prize money of INR 25,00,000 during the game show hosted by actor Amitabh Bachchan. Rajudas said that he is a hardcore fan of Sachin since he started watching cricket back in 1996.

The Maharashtra school teacher was endorsed by Mr. Bachchan as he is making efforts towards educating children from the village areas. During the show, Rathod said, “From 1996, I have been watching cricket. I have been loving Sachin Tendulkar ever since. I used to go mad whenever Tendulkar scored a ton. However, whenever he gets out on 99, I used to be heartbroken for the next couple of days. I used to sit in front of the TV one hour before a match starts. I used to pray for Tendulkar before every match. Sachin is the reason for my joy and my pain.”

On Thursday, Tendulkar took to Twitter and shared his delight after listening about Rajudas during the show. Tendulkar also had a word of advice for his fan. He tweeted: “Well played, Rajudas Rathod! Aapki baatein sun kar kaafi mazza aaya! I hope you didn’t break more remotes Promise we’ll meet soon!”
