Not only that, Sardindoo congratulated Sachin while sharing the post, and wrote- East vs West Duleep Trophy match, we were knocking after the warm-up. Sachin was knocking next to me but after a while, he stopped and watched me hit the ball. Then he came up to me and said 'Dada I brought your bat'. The extra bats gladly gave him. Then on TV, I saw him score a brilliant 157 against the mighty West Indies. I can't forget the 'power' sticker on my bat. I was excited. The next time I met him in Mumbai he gave me 4 bats! Happy birthday, my friend.
