Sachin Tendulkar may be one of the best right handed batsmen of all time but the Master Blaster is actually a left handers. The 'God of Cricket' on Monday celebrated the International Left Handers Day with a tweet making light of this conundrum.
Tendulkar, who bats and bowls with right hand, eats and writes with his left hand. He can also play table tennis with equal competence with both his hands.
On the occasion of left-handers day, Tendulkar took to Twitter to wish the people with a special post.
"I may be left-handed ... but I’m always right. Happy #LeftHandersDay !,” he wrote on Twitter.

It is said that Sachin started playing cricket with his right hand because he used to follow his elder brother Ajit. The right handed bottom grip helped him hit harder during his early years.
Sachin's childhood friend Vinod Kambli too posted a tweet on International Left Handers Day. Kambli is also natural left-hander but unlike Sachin he batted left handed.
Glad to be among the 12% of lefties in world.. Happy International Lefthanders day to all the lefties...
