The Crowd Said That I Had No Shame That I Got Sachin Tendulkar Out: Mohit Sharma On Taking Tendulkar's Wicket In His Last Ranji Trophy Match

Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar’s following is unsurpassed, and admirers all over the world swear by his name. Sachin Tendulkar is widely regarded as the greatest cricketer of all time, and his greatness has been demonstrated so frequently in the past that rival supporters have come to admire him.

Recalling one such occurrence, India cricketer Mohit Sharma told a story from his past while addressing an event. Mohit took the prize wicket of Sachin Tendulkar in the first innings of his last match against Haryana in Lahli, probably one of the biggest wickets of his cricketing career.

But Mohit’s elation was short-lived when, following the wicket, his own fans in the stadium turned against him, accusing him of cutting short Sachin’s innings.

Ajay (Jadeja) bhai is quite expressive on and off the field both. I was bowling when Sachin Paaji came in to bat. The wicket in Lahli is quite conducive for bowling and Ajay bhai told me to try and get Paaji to play on the front foot. And exactly the same happened as the ball pitched on off and nipped back hitting the elbow on the way to the stumps,” Mohit said

“But as soon as I reached my position, the crowd that had gathered to watch the match started yelling at me. These were our own guys and they had said things like I destroyed everything and I have no shame that I got the great man out and so and so forth. While I was surprised but not completely shocked because that is what Paaji is all about and his fandom and greatness transcend everything.

Playing on a pitch where everyone was struggling, Sachin Paaji batting alongside the tailender took his team to victory single-handedly by scoring 75*. That is what Sachin Tendulkar is all about and after the innings, he came to our dressing room and spoke to the players and gave some important tips on how to deal with difficult tracks and how to adapt and change mindset according to the situation,” Mohit concluded.
