On the occasion of Father's Day, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar remembered his dad and shared a nostalgic moment on social media. The legendary batsman posted a photo from his younger days with his father (Ramesh Tendulkar). In a message, he wrote,"My first hero and my inspiration forever, my dad. #FathersDay". He was busy playing the 1999 World Cup when his father died. The 'Master Blaster' flew home, missed the game against Zimbabwe but returned to score an emotional hundred against Kenya in Bristol. He dedicated that knock to his late father. Recently, Tendulkar's 18-year-old son Arjun got selected into the India U-19 squad for their upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.
