Overview

  • Tendulkar said he advised sending MS Dhoni ahead of Yuvraj Singh in the 2011 World Cup final, citing a left–right batting plan against two off-spinners and Dhoni’s familiarity with Muttiah Muralitharan from Chennai Super Kings nets.
  • He identified his unbeaten 103 in Chennai in 2008 against England as his most meaningful innings.
  • Responding to a user who questioned his identity, he joked, “Abhi Aadhaar bhi bheju kya?” and shared a photo pointing to the query on a big screen.
  • Asked about succession, he praised Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for making India proud and said there are many contenders to carry the legacy forward.
  • On running between the wickets, he quipped that Virender Sehwag was the toughest partner to run with because he preferred boundaries.
