Brian Lara’s Son Reminds Sachin Tendulkar of His Childhood Days, Here's Why! (View Post)

Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen to have ever graced the game and his record in international cricket is nothing but sensational. Owing to his batting prowess, many aspiring and budding cricketers aim to replicate the Master Blaster’s heroics on the 22-yard track. However, Tendulkar recently came across someone whose batting style resembles that of his. Well, it’s none other than West Indies legend Brian Lara’s son. The Caribbean star recently shared a video on Instagram in which his son can be seen playing cricket. When Tendulkar came across the clip, he pointed out that his batting grip in childhood was quite similar to that of Lara’s son. Sachin Tendulkar Makes Mango Kulfi at Home to Celebrate His 25th Wedding Anniversary (Watch Video).

Look at the way he grips the bat, that tells me he wants to be a lefthanded batsman. Mummy is giving him some good advice. Look at the attitude when told to switch hands. 😎😂 "Both hands on the bat" 😂 NO Action time swings right misses swings left and makes contact #donedeal #leftiebatsman "Don't you want to play like daddy" NO! 👍 #betterthan That's my boy!

Sachin, who bid adieu to the game back in 2013, is still the highest run-scorer in international cricket with 34357 runs. His tally of 100 international centuries is also the most for any batsman. On the other hand, Lara finished his career 22358 runs to go with 53 centuries. Also, his innings of 400 runs Vs England still remains the highest individual score by a batsman in the longest format of the game.
