“I had played for so many years but my mother had not seen any of the matches, before that (last Test) match. I told my mother you have to come.

It was a big emotional moment when they showed my mother on the big screen,” Sachin Tendulkar said.

‘Sachin-Sachin’ chants story

The stadiums used to echo with the chants of ‘Sachin-Sachin’, and during his retirement speech, Sachin Tendulkar revealed how special that was for him.

Back in 2017, Sachin Tendulkar revealed the sweet story behind the ‘Sachin-Sachin’ chants and said his mother was the one who started with the chants. “My mother started it actually. I used to go play downstairs and to call me back home, mother would call ‘Sachin Sachin’, Tendulkar said while speaking at the song release event of his biopic “Sachin: A Billion Dreams.”
