Sir Don Bradman, who was born on 27 August, 1908, is considered as the best Test batsman of the 20th century. In his 20-year-long Test (1928-1948), Bradman played 52 Tests scoring 6996 runs.

Sachin Tendulkar, who is consistently sharing messages on Twitter, expressed his feelings for the late Test batsman on Twitter. Master Blaster said that he remembers Don for his graciousness and sense of humour, rather than just his extraordinary batting. “A lot of people remember Sir Don Bradman for his extraordinary batting; I remember him more for his graciousness and sense of humour that I experienced when I had the privilege of spending some time with him in 1998”, Tendulkar wrote on Twitter.

The Mumbai cricketer recalled his meeting with the late Aussie legend in 1998 when both met each other at Kensington Park in Adelaide. Tendulkar has always termed that memory as special. Bradman is widely popular for his incredible batting average of 99.9 in Test career, a feat achieved by no other batsman in the longer format of cricket till now. In 80 Test innings Bradman also smashed 29 centuries which included two triple centuries and 12 double centuries, something which clearly reveals his outstanding skills with the bat.
