Sachin Tendulkar pays tribute to Don Bradman on his 111th anniversary

Sachin Tendulkar, on Tuesday, paid glowing tribute to the legendary Sir Donald Bradman on the occasion of the latter’s 111th birth anniversary. Tendulkar, who had met Bradman along with former Australian leg spinner Shane Warne during’s India’s tour of the country in 1998/99, posted a heartful message for the legendary cricketer.

Born on 27th August 1908, Bradman is best remembered for his extraoridnary career batting average of 99.94 in Test cricket. After life on the playing field, Bradman also played a huge role in Australia’s rise as a super power in the sport, first as a player, then a captain and later as an administrator.

Remembering the special day, Tendulkar wrote on Twitter, “A lot of people remember Sir Don Bradman for his extraordinary batting; I remember him more for his graciousness and sense of humour that I experienced when I had the privilege of spending some time with him in 1998.”
