Sachin Tendulkar explained Shane Warne’s solution to escape the spicy chicken served at the Indian legend's home back in 1998.
Legendary cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne were great competitors on the field but great mates off it. Warne, who is the second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket history with 708 scalps, toured India for a full series for the first time back in 1998.
The three-match India vs Australia Test series was billed as ‘Tendulkar vs Warne’ instead of ‘India vs Australia’. However, in an interesting anecdote shared by Tendulkar in the new documentary called ‘Shane’, the Mumbai maestro recounted a funny dinner encounter in Mumbai.
“Sachin and I we got along great, we were great mates and we still are. When we got to India, it was ‘Warne vs Tendulkar’, it wasn’t ‘Australia vs India’,” Warne said in the documentary recounting the series.
