Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar proved that his wit remains as sharp as his batting skills during a Reddit Ask Me Anything session on August 25, 2025. The Master Blaster, who recently became Reddit’s first global brand ambassador, engaged with fans in a session filled with humour, insights, and memorable one-liners that quickly went viral across social media platforms.
Sachin Tendulkar’s hilarious reply to a fan
When a skeptical Reddit user questioned Tendulkar’s identity and asked him to prove he was the real deal, the legendary cricketer delivered a response that had the internet rolling with laughter. The fan had written, “Sach mein Sachin Tendulkar hai kya? (Is it really Sachin Tendulkar?) Please share a voice note for verification“.
Tendulkar’s response was nothing short of brilliant. He posted a picture of himself pointing to the question displayed on a large screen, but the real knockout punch came with his cheeky reply: “Abhi Aadhar bhi bheju kya? (Should I also send my Aadhaar card?)“. The tongue-in-cheek reference to India’s biometric identification system struck a chord with netizens, who appreciated the cricket icon’s playful humor and down-to-earth personality.

The 52-year-old cricket icon didn’t stop there. Throughout the AMA session, he showcased his comedic timing with several other witty responses.

His ability to turn serious cricket discussions into light-hearted moments demonstrated why he remains beloved by fans across generations.

Tendulkar’s nostalgic insights and prophetic predictions
Beyond the humour, Tendulkar’s AMA session offered fascinating glimpses into his cricketing acumen and foresight. The Master Blaster recalled his first encounter with Joe Root during the Englishman’s Test debut in Nagpur in 2012, revealing a prophetic moment that showcased his deep understanding of the game.
“When I saw him for the first time in Nagpur in 2012 during his debut Test, I told my teammates that they were watching the future captain of England,” Tendulkar shared during the session. What impressed him most was Root’s ability to assess the wicket and rotate the strike, qualities that he recognized would make the young batter a significant player.
Tendulkar’s prediction proved remarkably accurate, as Root went on to become England’s Test captain in 2017 and has now amassed over 13,543 Test runs, placing him just 2,378 runs away from surpassing Tendulkar’s legendary record of 15,921 runs. During the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Root became the fastest player to reach 13,000 Test runs and finished as the second-highest run-scorer with 537 runs, behind India’s captain Shubman Gill who topped the charts with 754 runs.
The Reddit AMA session, which took place on the r/IndiaCricket community, marked a significant milestone in Tendulkar’s digital engagement journey. As Reddit’s brand ambassador since June 2025, the cricket legend has been actively connecting with fans through the platform, sharing insights and exclusive content that bridges the gap between his illustrious past and the digital present.
