This is not the first time Yuvi has sought Sachin's blessings.
Sachin Tendulkar is one of the most respected cricket players across the globe and even after leaving the game, his popularity remains untouched. A generation of Indian players has grown up idolising him, emulating his impeccable work ethic, hunger for runs and the sheer zeal to succeed at the highest level, day in and day out.
On Sunday, Vizag stadium was witness to one such show of respect from Yuvraj Singh to master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar. When they met after the match near the boundary ropes, Yuvi tried to touch 'god of cricket' Sachin's feet. The legend broke into a bright smile and stopped Yuvi, embracing him in the process.

It was almost the repeat of what Yuvraj did in 2014 at Lord's (picture above), when playing for the Rest of the World against MCC XI, in a charity match. Sachin was the captain of MCC XI, and Yuvi took the blessings of Sachin inside the field.
Virat Kohli too bowed to Sachin Tendulkar after scoring a half-century during W-T20 against Pakistan at Eden Gardens in March this year. Sachin was present at the stands, and he acknowledged Virat's touching gesture. Seems like Sachin continues to linger in the hearts of players who get a high in scoring runs in front of the living legend.
Yuvraj after suffering from injury made a comeback on Sunday, scoring a breezy 39 of just 23 balls. His side Sunrisers Hyderabad put up a dominating performance, crushing Mumbai Indians by 85 runs. MI was bowled out for paltry 92 after SRH scored 177 in their allotted 20 overs. Dhawan was the pick of the batters for Sunrisers scoring 82 of 57 balls. In the bowling department, Nehra took 3/15 and Mustafizur scalped 3 too conceding only 16 runs. Sachin and Yuvi were on opposite sides yesterday, but the love and respect for the legend clearly transcended all barriers.
