British movie and Television actor Benedict Cumberbatch stated that Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar is the perfect man to play the role of Superhero Doctor Strange. He made this revelation on Sunday.

Cumberbatch actually made the revelation when he met former Australian speedster, Brett Lee. It was during the “Avengers: Infinity War” press tour in Singapore. It must be noted that Cumberbatch plays the role of a neurosurgeon turned sorcerer on the big screen.

Lee asked him to give the views on which cricketer he feels can take the role of Doctor Strange. Cumberbatch was quick to name the Little Master.

“Sachin Tendulkar would do quite well in fitting the role as Doctor Strange as he is quite extraordinary,” Cumberbatch said.

He was also asked that which cricketer is his favourite. In reply, the British star said:

“Graham Gooch was my hero when growing up. I loved playing cricket and because I was a wicketkeeper, I had my eye on Jack Russell.” 

Marvel Studios Avengers: Infinity War is all set to release on 27th April in India.

Meanwhile, there is no doubt about the fact that Tendulkar is the biggest cricketing icon in the nation in particular.

Speaking on his first impression on Kohli, Tendulkar said, “The U-19 World Cup in 2008 was very important for India, as it would define the next bunch of youngsters who would go on to represent the nation. That was the first time I watched this young, passionate player lead India.”

 

“Today Virat Kohli is a household name and a champion in cricket. Even back then, his hunger for runs and consistency was remarkable, something that has become the hallmark of his game,” Tendulkar added.
