Partnerships form the heart of cricket, be it batting, bowling or between fielders.

#OTD Mohali '11 WC semis
With Yuvi gone & Riaz on 🔥, @sachin_rt & @msdhoni joined hands & took 🇮🇳 forward with a 46 run imp stand.

A knock which carried the innings together.

#AajKaSachin

That love in his eyes for the sweet spot :)

@sachin_rt & his bats

#AajKaSachin

Sachin wished the Aussies "April Fool" on this day in '98.

Those who know, will know this. :)

#AajKaSachin

A dream he saw on the night of 25th June '83

He started to work on it, cherishing each and every moment of those glorious years with love, pride & passion for our beloved game.

Finally on the night of 2nd April 2011, his dreaming of lifting the WC was fulfilled

#AajKaSachin

At the end of a nice weekend where we brought in a new year filled with care & love, let's add a bit of @sachin_rt magic to make it even more beautiful.

#AajKaSachin

The more we kept seeing this forward defense from @sachin_rt, the more we kept falling in love with his magic.

Everything is so very pure & beautiful about this frame, isn't it ?

#AajKaSachin

Such a wonderfully captured image, this.

#AajKaSachin

The heartbreak of this Ranji Trophy 1991 loss shall never ever go away. 💔

This must have been such a wonderful institution in learning for our master, @sachin_rt.

Happy Birthday @DBVengsarkar "Colonel" 🎂

#AajKaSachin

This smile from @sachin_rt kept bringing happiness to our entire nation for 24 glorious years.

#AajKaSachin

The beauty of this partnership will never ever fade away.

Thank you all the glorious moments, @SGanguly99 & @sachin_rt

#AajKaSachin

A knock equal to life lessons 💙

@sachin_rt showed us the path to be disciplined enough to avoid those creamy drives through the cover region in a beautiful & memorable knock, laced with 33 4️⃣s.

Skills, Courage, Patience, Determination

#AajKaSachin

This wait for that elusive ODI hundred was so very long.

But, @sachin_rt scoring his maiden ODI 💯 against the Aussies was just that sign of many beautiful memories to follow.

#AajKaSachin

Such a beautiful picture.

#AajKaSachin

A beautiful love story between @sachin_rt & his willows.

#AajKaSachin

Could we have a more beautiful sight than @sachin_rt bat in the 2003 WC ?

#AajKaSachin

Whenever @sachin_rt played the sweep shot, it swept our hearts with pure grace & elegance.

#AajKaSachin

A knock which will remain so very valuable in turning the fortunes of Indian Cricket at the turn of the new millennium.

#AajKaSachin

That backfoot punch vs @wasimakramlive to start off the chase. Pure nostalgia.

#AajKaSachin

A beautiful shot @sachin_rt mastered throughout his career.

A leg glance is one of the most elegant shot, yet it needs to be played with a touch of pure class & precision.

#AajKaSachin

He carried the expectations of billions throughout his playing career. We understood the true emotion of "A One Man Army" when he took strike.

"If Sachin bats well, India sleeps well" : @bhogleharsha

So very true in each & every sense of the term.

#AajKaSachin

Those emotions of a @sachin_rt 💯 say such a beautiful story.

#AajKaSachin

This most anticipated single from @sachin_rt gave us memories for our lifetime.

#AajKaSachin

In the history of @IPL, it's El Classico time tonight with @mipaltan lined up against @ChennaiIPL.

How many remember this special knock from @sachin_rt ?
In terms of sheer quality, this will forever remain his very best ever.

#AajKaSachin

Thank you for the magic of Sharjah 1998, @sachin_rt 🧡

#AajKaSachin

Watching this on a Saturday evening :)

#AajKaSachin

Cricketers love to play at Wankhede for the simple reason of being loved & appreciated for their performances.

@sachin_rt & Wankhede
A love story which blossomed way before he made his Mumbai debut.

Happy Birthday @sachin_rt 🧡
@mipaltan
#AajKaSachin

Just like this beautiful forward defense from @sachin_rt , we will see @mipaltan make a grand comeback with pride, passion & confidence.

We've seen so many happy MI memories, we'll stick to our boys in such tough phases too, forever ...

#AajKaSachin

Just imagine our master playing this with pure grace....

Now let's imagine @sachin_rt playing this against a bowler steaming in and bowling at 150+ kph.

Genius is surely an understatement for this image.

#AajKaSachin

A magical knock from @sachin_rt which will keep touching our soul forever & ever.

Sachin, Sharjah & that Desert Storm.

#AajKaSachin

Q. What was the reason we all wanted to be batters right from our childhood playing days ?
A. @sachin_rt

That urge to buy a willow with a "MRF" sticker on it & the belief that MRF used to makes those willows are something that would stay with us forever & ever.

#AajKaSachin

The emotions attached to this 💯 from @sachin_rt. 💔

#AajKaSachin

Sydney 2008
The magic of this glorious partnership between Rohit & @sachin_rt will never ever be forgotten.

Happy Birthday @ImRo45 💙

#AajKaSachin

Such a wonderful image, this.

The beauty of @sachin_rt & his backfoot play.

#AajKaSachin

This image sums up our emotions growing up on our beloved game in the 90s.

Warnie, you'll stay in us forever. 💔

Happy Birthday @BrianLara 🎂

#AajKaSachin

Watching @sachin_rt bat is the 90s was a dream of pure gold for us ...

Happy Akshaya Tritiya, #CricketTwitter

#AajKaSachin

The happiness on that face tells us such a beautiful story.

For us, @sachin_rt will forever be an emotion.

#AajKaSachin

#OTD Arundel '96

A sparking start to that beautiful English summer was all about a scintillating 108* vs DUKE OF NORFOLK'S XI. His strokeplay was as brilliant as it could get.

The way @sachin_rt batted in that entire tour of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 was such a pure & wonderful sight.
#AajKaSachin

2 WCs & 16 years apart vs the same opponents, our Mumbai masters gave us memorable hits which will stay with us forever...

Just a glimpse of these upper cuts brings huge smiles on our faces on a Friday evening :)
@sachin_rt & @ImRo45 🧡

#AajKaSachin

This heartbreak will never ever be forgotten. 💔

#AajKaSachin

A child gives birth to a mother 🙌

He was a very naughty child who was introduced to the "nets" to channelize his energies in right place.
His mother was the original creator of "Sachin Sachin".
Today we wish all our wonderful mothers a very Happy Mother's Day🌹

#AajKaSachin

Cometh the final
Cometh the hour
Cometh the champion

The magic of Sydney 2008

In a tricky chase, @sachin_rt gave us a wonderful treat on a Sunday afternoon with sheer elegance, brilliance & a very pleasing human touch with @BrettLee_58.

#AajKaSachin ❤️

When we hear this farewell speech from @sachin_rt on loop mode, tears do keep rolling down with emotions in our soul, even after years down the line.

This speech shall keep reverberating in our ears till we stop breathing, forever & ever.

#AajKaSachin

The beauty of all @sachin_rt knocks wasn't just for those very moments. They stayed with us forever.😍

Waking up early next day to catch a glimpse of our Master on the front pages of newspapers & magazines ( esp. @sportstarweb ) was the essence of our childhood.

#AajKaSachin ❤️

Best mates off the field made for some purely riveting contests on the field as well 🏏

@sachin_rt vs @BrettLee_58 was definitely a contest we wished to have seen so much more of. Those lovely outswingers followed by those 😍 upper cuts.

#AajKaSachin

When 🇦🇺 legends, the crowds & opposition team heap praises & fall in love with a 18 yr old in his 1st ever series Down Under, there has to be "Power" in his magic.

Those drives, flicks, cuts, punches & his love affair with the Aus pitches.
#AajKaSachin

A gentle dab towards 3rd man region was celebrated with plenty of excitement, pride & passion.
Test Cricket was always the most closest to heart for our Master & he cherished it throughout his golden career.
Getting past @BrianLara here 🧡

#AajKaSachin

The brilliance of @sachin_rt with the ball in hand.

#AajKaSachin ❤️

The magic of @sachin_rt & his WC 💯s...

#AajKaSachin ❤️

That sweat trickling off his body, the pride & passion glowing in his face & the dignity with which he played our game so very beautifully on & on, for decades :)

This is one of our favorite pics too.

@sachin_rt & his emotions will stay in our hearts forever...

#AajKaSachin ❤️

A knock equal to life lessons💙
@sachin_rt showed us the path to be disciplined enough to avoid those creamy drives through the cover region in a beautiful & memorable knock of 241* laced with 33 4️⃣s

Skills, courage, patience, determination
#AajKaSachin

A relationship between a father & son is one of the most beautiful feelings in the world.

#OTD '99, @sachin just lost the physical touch of his father which made our entire nation cry alongside him.

Whenever Sachin looked upwards post this, he was being blessed.
#AajKaSachin ❤️

Those golden days in that wonderful era.

@sachin_rt hitting over the top, straight down the ground, targetting the premium opposition bowlers + the beauty of the legendary commentary. 🧡

Thank you GOD, we had our wonderful share of prime cricket in the '90s. 🙏

#AajKaSachin

We have biology in the world of science, but no frame is more beautiful than this trilogy of Indian Cricket. Pure memories together, this partnership lifted the mood of Indian Cricket from the shambles it found itself in for some time.

Victories
Runs
Partnerships
#AajKaSachin ❤️

That big front foot stride forward, turning his back leg ever so slightly, changing his grip at the last moment & giving the ball direction required in the slightest of a gap through cover region.

Uff, "SACH A" brilliance from our Master in a fraction of a second
#AajKaSachin

Getting to a 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ & helping the team win gives the ultimate satisfaction to a batter.

But our Master on reaching this 💯, he looked upwards, thanked GOD & searched for his beloved father in the heaven waiting to shower his love, blessings upon his beloved son🙏
#AajKaSachin

This will give us goosebumps forever... What a wonderful pic :)

Spin magician, Warnie 💔 being flanked by the 2 greatest batters of their era, @BrianLara & @sachin_rt

If Cricket was our most beloved art in the 90s, these were our greatest ever artists (🎨)

#AajKaSachin

Wishing our dearest Anjali mam & @sachin_rt a very Happy Wedding Anniversary with lots of love & best wishes. Partnerships are diamonds, but this is surely the best partnership our Master has ever had.

May this quickfire 27 turn into a glorious 50+ journey :)

#AajKaSachin

Once a budding cricketer reaches a 💯 at the Mumbai Maidans, the coach compliments it with a "Double it up".

Well... @sachin_rt just obeyed them, he doubled it up by having some outstanding successive outings in ODIs 🏏

1998, 2008 :)

#AajKaSachin

90s Kids, Teens, Adults & Seniors would remember longing 4+ years for @sachin_rt 's 1st ODI 💯.

Special moment for us back then, to be replicated 48 more times 🤩

The icing here is Henry Blofeld sir's iconic voice taking us through on🎙️:)

#AajKaSachin

The value of friendship
From: U15 camps, Star Cricket Club Tours with Kailash Gattani Sir
To: Playing together for many glorious years

Right from dropping a water pipe in Dada's room to having huge opening partnerships & plotting many victories for Team India 😍

#AajKaSachin

The magic of @sachin_rt & his romance with Australian grounds.

#AajKaSachin ❤️

Harsha has utmost love & respect for @sachin_rt right from his Shivaji Park days, which will continue forever.

One of his best Sachin quotes :
"Sachin was Master of the game but behaved like Servant of the game"

Well said, @bhogleharsha
#AajKaSachin

1st innings: c Taylor b Warne💔 (4)
Aus lead by 71 runs.

Sachin comes into bat in 2nd innings @ 2/115, with Sidhu departing for a majestic 64.
What followed was an onslaught which has capitulated in our memories for generations to follow 🔥
A TRUE MASTERCLASS :)

#AajKaSachin

If @sachin_rt & DK would have played a lot more together, especially in the 90s too...

Let's imagine the brilliance of their running between the wickets with the more conversions of dots into 1s, 1s into 2s and 2s into 3s. 😊

Happy Birthday @DineshKarthik 🎂

#AajKaSachin ❤️

The utmost respect for each other is so much visible from this wonderful image. Legends who kept giving us so many glorious moments & memories forever.
Their images with "MRF" bats will stay with us too.

A very Happy Birthday to Steve Waugh & @juniorwaugh349 🎂

#AajKaSachin ❤️

The mastery of Sachin vs the guile of Wasim, one of our biggest & memorable childhood contests growing up :)

SRT : Making Wasim bhai remember that moment "Tujhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai"....

Wasim : A huge smile 🧡

Happy Birthday @wasimakramlive 🎂

#AajKaSachin

90s was an era when people with a radio transmitter with them were searched with great love & care.

2 questions were asked closed to their heart :
What is India's score ? Is @sachin_rt batting & on how much ?

#OTD '99 WC, we all faced a 💔 from @glennmcgrath11

#AajKaSachin

Some knocks remain with us for a lifetime & this special one was just one of them :)

The class & aggression with which our Master belted the 🇵🇰 attack was so very soothing for a cricket fan.

Thank you for the entertainment, @sachin_rt.

#AajKaSachin

An on & off the field partnership which blossomed right from Ajinkya's early days with Mumbai Cricket, he learnt a lot from the master himself right from his Test debut as well.

We've loved watching them share a beautiful bond together.

HBD @ajinkyarahane88 🧡
#AajKaSachin

A contest we wished to have seen so much more of.

The 🔥 pace of Bond vs the mastery of @sachin_rt, match-ups like these surely make our game all the more beautiful with such glorious moments.

Such a treat watching him bowl & bowl😊

Happy Birthday Shane Bond 🎂
#AajKaSachin ❤️

Their legacy in our beloved game is something which will be revered forever.

It's just not the runs they scored, but also the values they inculcated while playing this sport for such a long duration.

Wishing you a 2nd innings as lovely as your 1st one, @M_Raj03

#AajKaSachin ❤️

This wonderful view from the stadiums & on our TVs showing our master with his cap on, gave us the belief and assurance that "We are still in it, things will improve & we will come out on top" 🙌
As @bhogleharsha says, "If Sachin Bats Well, India Sleeps Well" ...

#AajKaSachin

We may never know what this conversation would have been like.

But whenever we feel any kind of stress, we would just love to see this clip to bring a gentle smile to our faces. 🧡

The 2 legendary masters together in a single frame. :)

#AajKaSachin ❤️

A magical knock from @sachin_rt which will keep touching our soul forever & ever.

Sachin, Sharjah & that Desert Storm.

A. @sachin_rt

#AajKaSachin

This most anticipated single from @sachin_rt gave us memories for our lifetime.

#AajKaSachin

Here's another vintage @sachin_rt knock in the 2011 WC.

That straight drive off Morkel and the pull shot off Steyn, all with a glorious & elegant touch.

#AajKaSachin

The brilliance of @sachin_rt so beautifully explained by the master of pure fast bowling, @DaleSteyn62.

This was indeed such a wonderful contest.

#AajKaSachin ❤️

2 WCs & 16 years apart vs the same opponents, our Mumbai masters gave us memorable hits which will stay with us forever...

Just a glimpse of these upper cuts brings huge smiles on our faces on a Thursday evening :)
@sachin_rt & @ImRo45 🧡

#AajKaSachin

The pure brilliance from @sachin_rt in the field with his rocket arm.

#AajKaSachin ❤️

Cometh the final
Cometh the hour
Cometh the champion

The magic of Sydney 2008

In a tricky chase, @sachin_rt gave us a wonderful treat on a Sunday afternoon with sheer elegance, brilliance & a very pleasing human touch with @BrettLee_58.

#AajKaSachin ❤️

.@bhogleharsha during @sachin_rt's 9th Test 💯, 122, vs England at Edgbaston: "There's only one man who can play a better shot than Sachin Tendulkar and that's Tendulkar himself."

Watching this knock is eye-catching even today (🎥:⬇️)

#AajKaSachin ❤️

A 17 year old boy called @sachin_rt took a one handed stunning catch way back in 1990 in a Lord's Test which caught everyone's eyes (🎥:⬇️)

People often forget that he was a good fielder as well with 255 catches in his career

#AajKaSachin ❤️

157 Asian players have played at least 10 tests in SENA countries

Only one player averages above 50; the great @sachin_rt off course

He scored 5387 runs with 17 💯s at an average of 51.30

The man can do with ease what others find difficult; a lesson to us all

#AajKaSachin ❤️

What would happen if the world's best batter faced the world's faster pacer?

@sachin_rt answered that as he faced Shoaib Akthar in the 2000 Carlton & United series ODI in Adelaide

Watching these crisp shots is a treat even today

#AajKaSachin ❤️

Sachin Tendulkar in the 90s:

Between 1st January 1996 & 31st December 1999, @sachin_rt scored 8717 Runs hit 34 💯s with an average of 61.05 in Tests & 47.84 in ODIs

And all this at a time when the team relied heavily on him

He carried the team on his shoulders

#AajKaSachin ❤️

When your team is playing in the final of a tournament, all the pressure is on you as you are the mainstay of the team's batting

@sachin_rt would rise to the occasion

His 💯s in 6 tournament finals have resulted in wins for 🇮🇳

He is at his best when needed
