Sachin Tendulkar, on Saturday, tweeted a video about an incident that happened during his Test-playing days. It was about staff in the hotel Taj Coromandel who spoke to Sachin about how his bat swing changes when he wore an arm guard.
The waiter came to serve coffee for Sachin as the latter ordered. The waiter then asked if he could tell something, and Sachin asked him to go ahead.
“[He said] Sir, I have noticed whenever you wear an arm guard your bat swing changes. I don’t think I had spoken about this to anyone in the world. He said I was a huge fan and rewind 5-7 times and watch every ball.”
Sachin then took to social media to caption the video: A chance encounter can be memorable! I had met a staffer at Taj Coromandel, Chennai during a Test series with whom I had a discussion about my elbow guard, after which I redesigned it. I wonder where he is now & wish to catch up with him. Hey netizens, can you help me find him?

This is what Sachin replied to the waiter at that time: “So I said, yes! You are the only person in the world who figured that out. So you won’t believe that I actually came back to my room from the ground and carried my elbow guard and redesigned my elbow guard: the correct size, the right amount of padding and where the straps should be and all that.”
