Sachin Tendulkar on Friday took the blessings of his childhood coach Ramakant Achrekar on the occasion of Guru Purnima.

The legendary batsman tweeted a picture where he bows down to his coach as a mark of unwavering respect.

"Sought blessings of my Guru on this auspicious day - A happy #GuruPurnima to all," he wrote on his Twitter feed having seven million plus followers.
