Sachin Tendulkar is a legend and of that, there is no doubt. Not just teammates or fans, but even opponents respect him. The aura he carries is so great that at times he can overshadow the occasion itself.
Such a thing occurred during the 2015 World Cup final between Australia and New Zealand. When he acknowledged the Melbourne crowd, the roar could mislead you into thinking that he was the main event and not the final. But what happened after the game really won hearts.?
Australia had crushed New Zealand by 7 wickets to win their 5th title. Glenn Maxwell was giving and interview when he suddenly broke off midway. Why? Because he had spotted Sachin and went to greet away. So what if he was giving an interview or what if he had just won the World Cup? This was Sachin!?
Maxwell greeted him, shook hands and hugged him. Then he promptly went back to his interview. This gesture showed how much respect the Master Blaster commands. Maxwell had played with him while turning up for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, so they knew each other well.?
?It was a great moment and certainly a highlight of the tournament. It's not every day you get to come face to face with the great man and Maxwell was not going to let the chance go by.??
