South Africa superstar Jonty Rhodes who in an epic gesture bowed down to touch Tendulkar’s feet after Punjab Kings defeat Mumbai Indians by 12 runs in Pune.
Virender Sehwag has done it before. As has Yuvraj Singh. Even Vinod Kambli has. All these have previously in jest touched Sachin Tendulkar’s feet in an act of admiration for the Master Blaster. And on Wednesday, it was South Africa superstar Jonty Rhodes who in an epic gesture bowed down to touch Tendulkar’s feet after Punjab Kings defeat Mumbai Indians by 12 runs in Pune.
After the match got over, as the PBKS players were walking back to the dugout, and exchanging handshakes, Rhodes, who is the fielding and batting coach of the Punjab Kings, caught Tendulkar off guard and floored him he bowed down to touch Tendulkar’s feet. Tendulkar, 48, pushed Rhodes aside, and then helped him get up and the two legends embraced each other with a hug. Rhodes’ act sent Twitter into a frenzy.
