XtraTime Web Desk: Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar was reminded of his batting group when he was a child by Brian Lara’s little son. The former West Indian legend recently shared a video of his son holding a plastic bat. The Trinidadian great noticed that the way his son gripped the bat shows that he wants to be a left hand batsman like him but his stance was that of a right hand batsman.

Sharing a video of his son, Lara wrote, "Look at the way he grips the bat, that tells me he wants to be a left-handed batsman."
Seeing the post from Lara, Sachin soon replied by pointing out that he too held the bat in a similar fashion. He posted the famous photo of him as a toddler holding the bat and placed it alongside a clip from the video Lara had posted.

"@brianlaraofficial I know of another boy who had a similar grip and didn't do too badly in international cricket," Sachin captioned his post on Instagram.

Lara reacted to the post from Tendulkar by saying: "I can see that @sachintendulkar and some of the best bowlers in the world felt that sword! Well I am not interfering then lol. Thanks for the advice. #rightvsleft #legend #mostruns #recordsmen."

Tendulkar then said that the boy has a bright future considering he is going to learn from the "one of the greatest batsmen in the world."
