Viral: Sachin Plays 'Crennis' With Bill Gates, Microsoft Founder Stumped

Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar recently met Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and their unique sporting exchange has taken the internet by storm. Tendulkar introduced Gates to a new game he called “crennis” – a mix of cricket and tennis. The fun moment, captured in a video shared by the Indian icon, has gone viral, leaving netizens amused.

In the clip, Tendulkar can be seen meeting Gates on a tennis court, but the philanthropist was taken aback when he noticed how Tendulkar was holding the racquet. “I thought we were playing tennis?” Gates remarked. To this, Tendulkar humorously responded, “I said crennis.” The duo then enjoyed their lighthearted session, blending elements of both sports.

The video ended on a delicious note, with the two relishing Mumbai’s favourite street food, vada pav. Sharing the moment on X (formerly Twitter), Tendulkar wrote, “Sport teaches us teamwork, life demands the same. Crennis was fun, but the real action is brewing with Sachin Tendulkar Foundation & Gates Foundation.”
