At the World Cup match between India and England on Sunday, fans were treated to a battle between two cricket powerhouses. Those following on Twitter however had an exclusive treat, a photo of two of the most successful Indians alive.
Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar was at the event in London as an expert analyst for the official broadcasters. But also there was Google CEO Sundar Pichai, an avid cricket fan, and the two posed for a photo together in their prime balcony seating. Tendulkar also posted the photo to Twitter with a hilarious pun.

Sundar Pichai -- who by now was back in the US busy with work as the Google CEO -- for his part came back with a quote from former captain MS Dhoni.
As Mahi bhai would say, "Bahut Badhiya"??Pleasure watching the game with you, brought back great memories, till next time ?

Indian Twitter of course lost their collective minds over the exchange, and the adulation and memes were quick to follow.

But most couldn't help commenting on how down-to-earth the duo are. Tendulkar has a reputation for his laid-back and humble demeanour despite being one of India's biggest celebrities.

Similarly, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has also presented himself as a salt-of-the-earth kind of guy, having worked his way up through Silicon Valley to now head one of the biggest tech companies in the world.
People just couldn't help appreciating Google CEO Sundar Pichai's simple attire and respectful admiration of living legend Sachin Tendulkar.
He is CEO of google...

But he looks like a common man...
So ground to earth.. hat's off @sundarpichai
Look at the attire of famous company @Google CEO @sundarpichai .. Soo simple. Looks like he is not even bothered abt it. Life is all abt how determined we are in our work, rather than showing off.

It's safe to assume that Google CEO Sundar Pichai enhanced his reputation of being a down-to-earth techie who retains his Indian identity -- be it gawking over cricketing legends past and present or being a simple man dedicated to his work without any flashes of flamboyance.
And hopefully Sundar Pichai's support of the Indian Cricket team will help them achieve the ultimate -- not only qualify for the final but also win the Cricket World Cup 2019.
