Internet Desk: Their friendship goes back to the playing days since childhood. Former India cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly have been the best of friends both on and off the field. Both share a mutual respect towards one another.
The master blaster, who recently made his singing debut with Sonu Nigam in a new song titled ‘Cricket wali beat’ was congratulated by his long time opening partner Sourav Ganguly .
The former India captain on Monday took to tweeter in congratulating Tendulkar. He tweeted, “@sachin_rt well done Tendulkar .. great stuff .. talent not restricted to batting only,” Ganguly tweeted.
Tendulkar did not waste any time to reply back, as he tweeted, “Hey dada, kamon acho, bhalo acho? Hope you have watched on 100MB”
Tendulkar, known to love music, featured in a video premiered during the grand finale of reality show “Indian Idol 9” on Sunday night where the iconic cricketer was the celebrity guest.
“He is a very good singer. We did not use pitch corrector on his voice as he was singing in the right sur (tone) and (despite being) the shy person that he is, he got extremely comfortable the moment I kind of increased the masti (fun) quotient while we were shooting the video,” Sonu had told IANS.
The song is yet to be released in entirety on social media and is only available on Tendulkar’s new app which will give fans access to all the information on the legend.
