Anyone who's watched a match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai will be familiar with the chant: "Mumbai ka raja - Sachin.. Sachin."
He might be known as the God of Cricket, but in his hometown, Mumbai, Sachin Tendulkar's fan-following is at another level all together.
Every young cricketer in Mumbai, in a coaching centre or on the street, has worshipped Sachin from the day he/she picked up a bat.
For locals growing up in the City of Dreams, seeing Sachin bat live was a lifelong dream. Thus, it was absolutely fascinating to see the icon playing on a Mumbai street.
A handful of Mumbaikars must've pinched themselves in disbelief when Sachin showed up to play some gully cricket with them.
A video of it has been shared on social media and has gone viral. In the short clip, the Master Blaster can be seen knocking a few balls on a busy Mumbai street. He seems to be playing with a bunch of hotel employees from that vicinity. The video ends when a car stops next to Sachin and a girl yells out his name in disbelief.
Whenever you see an empty street in Mumbai immaterial who you are, a common man or @sachin_rt you cannot stop yourself from playing cricket. pic.twitter.com/S7Sahb6aPE

Well, this video has surely reminded us of the sheer joy it was to watch the Little Master wield a cricket bat.
