Can you imagine Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar would be left stranded at a bus stop and asking for a lift?
No, it is not surreal. In real life, it has happened to the “batsman of the 21st century.”
Sachin is in United Kingdom to watch the Wimbledon tennis tournament.
Sachin last night missed the last bus at Great Hasely Oxfordshire and asked for a drop from his Twitter followers.
He tweeted on Saturday accompanied with a picture of him on Instagram at the bus stop. Soon after this tweet, there were many responses from his fans from India.

Some of them regretted that they could not help him.
“Hope I was there to give lift…!!! Even would have given car,” one of his fans replied.
Tendulkar and his wife Anjali, India’s Test captain Virat Kohli and his girlfriend Anushka Sharma were at Wimbledon.
