“Abhi Aadhaar Bheju Kya?” Sachin Tendulkar's Funny Response On Reddit AMA Goes Viral

For more than two decades, Sachin Tendulkar carried the hopes of a nation on his shoulders. Today, even in retirement, the former India opener remains a figure of inspiration, blending his unmatched cricketing insight with warmth that continues to endear him to millions. His recent online interaction with fans proved that time has done little to dim his relevance.

During an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, Sachin Tendulkar revisited one of the defining chapters of Indian cricket history, the 2011 World Cup final at the Wankhede Stadium. India, chasing Sri Lanka’s 275, found itself under pressure at 114 for three when he suggested the coach Gary Kirsten that MS Dhoni should bat ahead of Yuvraj Singh.

The reasoning, he explained, was two-fold: a left-right batting partnership would unsettle the Sri Lankan spinners (Muttiah Muralitharan & Suraj Randiv), and Dhoni, having faced Muttiah Muralitharan extensively in the IPL, was better placed to counter him. That decision proved to be a masterstroke. Dhoni’s unbeaten 91 sealed India’s first World Cup victory in 28 years and Sachin Tendulkar, in his final ODI World Cup, finally fulfilled his dream of lifting the trophy.

Yet the session was far from being a mere walk down memory lane. Fans challenged the legend with a flurry of questions, some light-hearted, others probing.

When one user asked for proof that it was indeed Sachin Tendulkar responding, he quipped if they wanted his Aadhaar card as verification (“Abhi Aadhaar bhi bheju kya?”), a response that quickly went viral.

He also confirmed a personal milestone, his son Arjun’s engagement to Saaniya Chandhok, calling it a joyous new phase for the family.

His replies revealed flashes of humour and honesty. He joked that running between the wickets with Virender Sehwag was nearly impossible as he dealt in fours and sixes only, admitted to occasionally playing risky strokes just to unsettle bowlers like Glenn McGrath, and declared Lord’s as the ground with the finest lunch.

On the question of alternate careers, he said he might have been a tennis player, and with Roger Federer retired, his favourite today is Carlos Alcaraz.

The mix of anecdotes, insights and humour reminded fans why Sachin Tendulkar remains much more than cricket’s greatest run-scorer. He continues to be a storyteller, mentor and icon, offering lessons that extend beyond the boundary. Even in a casual digital exchange, Master Blaster reaffirmed that his legacy is as much about grace as it is about greatness.
