When Tendulkar joined fellow Mumbaikars for 'gully cricket'

A few youngsters were in for a pleasant surprise when the legendary Sachin Tendulkar got down from his car for an impromptu batting session on the streets of Mumbai.

A video has gone viral on social media in which Tendulkar, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, is seen playing cricket near an under-construction Metro site in Bandra.

The video, also tweeted by Tendulkar's childhood friend Vinod Kambli, shows master blaster shaking hands with youngsters who were already playing cricket.

The 44-year-old took the bat from one of them and had faced merely five balls before fans started to gather around him.

Tendulkar happily posed for selfies with his fans.
