There is no doubt regarding the fact that the legendary Indian cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar has played in all position batting conditions from the swing-friendly English pitches to the subcontinent ran-turners to the fast-paced, bouncy pitches of Australia and South Africa. The “Master Blaster”, as he has often been called, created a plethora of world record with a bat in his hand while playing for the Indian team.
On Friday, Sachin Tendulkar tweeted a throwback video of him practicing in the nets on a water-logged pitch, and said that love and passion always helps one find new ways to practice. Captioning the video, Sachin wrote: “Love and passion for the game always help you find new ways to practice, and above all to enjoy what you do”.

In the video, Tendulkar can be seen batting on a pitch which is not visible as it got submerged in water. He is seen playing confidently on the back foot as bowlers try their luck at getting the better of the former India cricketer. A few deliveries in, the bowler launches a bouncer that Sachin ducks under, eliciting some laughs from those standing by. The same video was also featured in his movie ‘Sachin: A Billion Dreams’.
