Amidst the scenic surroundings of Gulmarg, India's greatest player, Sachin Tendulkar, is having a fantastic time playing gully cricket with locals while on his first-ever trip to Kashmir. Tendulkar posted a video of himself enjoying a game of gully cricket with the locals on social media. Tendulkar also took some photos with the locals in the video.

One may witness Sachin showcasing his signature strokes, which include some down-the-leg flicks and lofted straight shots. He mockingly reversed the bat as the session came to an end, challenging the bowler to get rid of him. However, the bowler was unable to accomplish the task, as the master batsman made the stroke with ease. 

Cricket creates strong bonds between people; earlier in the day, Sachin had gone to a nearby bat factory and talked about his first Kashmir willow bat, which was a gift from his sister.

During his hour-long visit, Tendulkar engaged in conversation with soldiers stationed at the Kaman Post, adjacent to Aman Setu, as per officials.
