WHAT SACHIN TENDULKAR ASKED AFTER SPOTTING SUSHANT PRACTISE WILL MAKE EVERY FAN OF CRICKET AND THE ACTOR PROUD

"I remember the moment when Sachin Tendulkar was left stunned when he saw Sushant Singh batting. Sushant was working on a biopic of MS Dhoni and I was asked by the director Neeraj Pandey and the producer Arun Pandey to coach him on wicketkeeping and batting. A few weeks into the training, I remember Sushant practising the famous Helicopter shot of Dhoni. That’s when Tendulkar came to the training ground at BKC Bandra, a Mumbai suburb.

Tendulkar was watching from the gallery and when I met him later, after practice, he asked me, “Who is this boy? He is batting so well. Itni achi batting kar rah hai!” I told him that it’s the actor Sushant, who is preparing for a biopic on Dhoni. Tendulkar was so shocked and said, “He can play proper professional cricket if he wants to. He seems that good"," More was quoted as saying.
