Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, who rubbed shoulders with Tamil megastar Rajinikanth at the opening ceremony of the second edition of Indian Super League here, finds the actor's enthusiasm infectious.
"Mr. Rajinikanth's enthusiasm is infectious at the #ISL opening ceremony. Wishing all the teams the very best! (sic)," Sachin posted on his Twitter page.
Rajinikanth even shared a buggy ride with Sachin at the Jawaharlal Nehru indoor stadium here before the start of the tournament on Saturday.
The Chennaiyin FC took on Atletico De Kolkata in the opening match of the season.
Besides Rajinikanth and Sachin, Bollywood stars Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were also present at the event.
