Sachin Tendulkar also thanked his fans for their love as he took to Twitter and wrote, “Thank you to those on my flight who were chanting my name a little while ago, reminiscent of when I used to come out to bat. Unfortunately, the seatbelt sign was on so I could not stand up to greet you. So saying a big hello to all now”.
