New Delhi, Feb 24 Legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday met Para cricketer Amir Hussain Lone during his trip to Jammu and Kashmir.
Tendulkar posted a video of their interaction on his ‘X’ handle, captioning the post, “To Amir, the real hero. Keep inspiring! It was a pleasure meeting you.”
The 34-year-old cricketer has a unique playing style. He bowls using his legs and bats using his shoulder and neck.
