Sachin Tendulkar’s Dream Team-Up: Batting Partners Beyond Cricket

Sachin Tendulkar, renowned for his legendary cricket career, recently unveiled a surprising dream: to bat alongside tennis icon Roger Federer. During a visit to Wimbledon, Tendulkar expressed his admiration for Federer and their shared passion for both cricket and tennis.

“Tennis player I would love to bat with has to be Roger because he’s got cricketing connections,” Tendulkar revealed to Star Sports at Wimbledon. “His mother is from South Africa, he follows cricket, and when we sat together, we discussed a lot of cricket, not just tennis, so it has to be Roger.

“Tendulkar’s affinity for Federer extends beyond admiration; it stems from personal interactions and deep discussions about cricket during their time together at Wimbledon. Reflecting on his experiences at the prestigious tournament, Tendulkar reminisced about memorable moments with tennis greats like Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean King in the royal box.

While Federer remains Tendulkar’s top pick for a tennis partner, he also fondly recalled playing tennis with cricket legends Shane Warne and Yuvraj Singh. Despite their retirement from cricket, these partnerships left an indelible mark on Tendulkar’s sporting journey.

As Tendulkar continues to enjoy Wimbledon and share his passion for sports across disciplines, his dream of partnering with Federer underscores the enduring camaraderie between athletes from different sports.
