Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar encourages 2-year-old cricketer, calls him 'perfect modern day player'

'Catch'em young' is the mantra when it comes to finding young talent, nurturing them to become someone extraordinary. This happened to master blaster Sachin Tendulkar when his then coach Ramakant Achrekar spotted his talent at a very young age. Looks like Tendulkar is doing the same with the young ones of our time.

A fan of the legendary cricketer shared a video of his 2-year-old nephew playing cricket in their yard. He had tagged Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli, Chennai Super Kings star MS Dhoni, and Sachin Tendulkar.

The 45-year-old former cricketer replied to the tweet with the quick analysis of the playing style of the young boy. He tweeted, "Straight drives, lofted shots, flicks. A perfect modern day player! Great start, #Hashim. Keep playing and keep enjoying the sport. My best wishes to you always. #SportPlayingIndia"
