By ET Online |
The 2019 IPL and World Cup were a mixed bag of entertainment, ranging high on emotions and debates. While ICC's overthrow rule, which led Team England to victory, had become the subject of a million memes on social media, now a clipping shared by cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has left Twitterati puzzled.
The Master Blaster, on Wednesday, tweeted a video featuring a Division Two club cricket match involving Sanderstead Cricket Club (SCC) where one of the zing bails stayed static on the off-stump when clipped by the ball. Confused by the incident, Tendulkar asked his followers what their decision would be as an umpire. The 46-year-old veteran wrote, "A friend shared this video with me. Found it very unusual! What would your decision be if you were the umpire?"
The now-viral tweet led to Twitterati leaving a variety of reactions. While some fans resorted to humour, others engaged in a debate as to whether or not the umpire should give a 'not-out'.

Sachin Tendulkar began his journey as an entrepreneur by opening a restaurant in Mumbai in 2002. He partnered with celebrity hotelier Sanjay Narang, and his first eatery was named 'Tendulkar's'. Soon after, he opened another one, 'Sachin's', in Mumbai and Bengaluru.
