Sachin Tendulkar is one of the greatest players in the world of cricket, with a plethora of records to his name – the most runs in international cricket and the only batsman to have scored 100 centuries in international cricket, to name a few. Who can forget the day he became the first batsman to score a double century in ODI cricket, achieving this feat against South Africa in 2010? Now, 15 years down the line, Yuvraj Singh has celebrated this remarkable record in a heartwarming way, cutting a cake with the legend himself.
Sachin Tendulkar, currently leading the India Masters in the International Masters League 2025, recently shared a video on social media where he walks into the dressing room to find a cake waiting for him. This wasn’t just any ordinary cake – it was a celebration of his groundbreaking achievement. As he shared the video, the excitement and camaraderie among the team members were palpable.
The video shows Yuvraj Singh explaining the significance of the day, February 24th, the day Sachin made history by scoring that double century. Yuvraj emphasized the lessons he learned from Sachin – to always remain humble, no matter how high you soar. The room erupts in applause as they cut the cake together, a moment of pure joy and mutual respect. In a playful gesture, Sachin feeds the cake to Yuvraj and even applies some to his mouth, capturing the lighthearted and friendly atmosphere of the celebration.
The match that made history took place in 2010 between India and South Africa, with Team India securing a 153-run victory. Sachin’s incredible innings of 200 runs in 147 balls, including 25 fours and three sixes, was the highlight of the game, enabling the Indian team to reach a total of 400 runs. Fifteen years later, Yuvraj’s heartfelt celebration of this record serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of Sachin’s achievements on the cricket world and the strong bonds between cricket legends.
