Sachin Tendulkar replaces 'pads' with 'paddles' for kayaking lessons: WATCH

India legend Sachin Tendulkar took to social media to share a video where he is learning his first lessons of kayaking in Thailand. Tendulkar, affectionately known as ‘Master Blaster’, was enjoying his holiday in Thailand recently and spent quality time with his family.

The former Mumbai Indians batter decided to give a sneak peek to his fans of his fun time as he took up kayaking from a professional in the island nation. His excitement was clearly reflected on his face when he took up the lessons for the very first time.

“Decided to paddle up instead of padding up for a change,” captioned Tendulkar on his IG.

In the video he shared on the platform, the India great can be heard saying, ‘More like reverse swing’ while manning the paddles. Fans were left amused by the former cricketer learning kayaking and so was former skipper Sourav Ganguly, who commented on the post asking if he was at Phulay Bay. The video has so far garnered over 19 million likes on the platform.

"Sach (Sachin Tendulkar).. I just saw u at phulay bay .. r u there,” commented Ganguly on the post shared by Tendulkar.

Sachin Tendulkar’s second innings post retirement

Despite calling time on his illustrious career from the sport nine years ago on November 16, 2013, the fandom of the India great never ceases to end. Furthermore, after calling it quits on his professional career, he has begun a new innings in social media as he never fails to share update on his life across all the platforms.

Tendulkar remains the all-time highest run scorer in international cricket and holds the record separately in Tests and ODIs as well. Adding to this, he scored 51 Test centuries and 49 ODI tons, making him the only batter to do so with a record 100 centuries in total thus far.
