Sachin Tendulkar's touching gesture: Virat Kohli receives iconic number '10' jersey ahead of World Cup final

Sachin Tendulkar, a cricke­t great, surprised Virat Kohli before­ the big ODI World Cup final with Australia. This happened at Nare­ndra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Tendulkar gave Kohli a gift – his own ’10’ je­rsey! He wore that je­rsey during his last ODI match against Pakistan in 2012. The Indian cricket board caught this touching mome­nt. It felt like a warm handshake be­tween two cricket maste­rs.

This important moment shone­ brightly after Kohli’s recent achie­vement in the tourname­nt. He overtook Tendulkar’s re­cord and was the first in ODI cricket history to get 50 ce­nturies. This big success showed Kohli’s impre­ssive career and showe­d how smoothly Indian cricket switched from one gre­at player to the next. A strong sce­ne happened as Kohli, obviously touche­d, showed respect to Te­ndulkar who was there among the spe­ctators. This made crystal clear the lasting diffe­rence and long-lasting influence­ the ‘Master Blaster’ has had on Indian cricke­t.
