Batting legend and Mumbai Indians icon Sachin Tendulkar was upto some strange antics on Saturday, or at least that is what could be surmised.
Tendulkar's Twitter on Saturday posted a picture of him in Mumbai Indians' team attire, holding a helmet as if he were about to wear it. The tweet itself said, "Guess what....?, setting off a storm on social media.
Tendulkar's fans, who number in several millions, believed he was about to make a return to playing cricket, after having retired from all forms of the game in 2013.

However, Sachin's next tweet poured cold water on their hopes.
Guess whatever... Am in the @mipaltan dugout... cheering the Apun Ka Superstars in our first home game of the season.

It is very unlikely that Tendulkar will come out of retirement, but for a few hours, millions of Indians as well as news outlets had got their hopes very, very high.
