“Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting. They will go unnoticed, for even the Lord is busy watching him”. That's how you know that the entire cricketing world has been in awe of the maestro's greatness. Every time he would walk in to play, every time he would raise his bat to acknowledge the support, thousands would chant his name in frenzy. The Mexican waves at every ball he would hit out of the park, the teary-eyed spectators when he would walk back to the dugout and Tony Greig’s legendary voice shouting “What A Player!” – all of these have been a dope for those who love and live cricket.
To reprise the fond memories of this maestro, a biographical film, Sachin: A Billion Dreams, will soon hit the theatres across India. But before that, what has caught the fancy of Tendulkar's fans is the teaser released on 14 April, a few days before the Master Blaster's birthday. It will be an understatement to say that the video has gone viral. In fact, the first poster of the film, which was released by Sachin Tendulkar on 11 April, received an overwhelming response.
