Tendulkar gifted a bat to Amir which has a personalised inspiring message that read “To Amir, the real hero. Keep inspiring,” with his signature.

“To Amir, the real hero. Keep inspiring! It was a pleasure meeting you,” Tendulkar posted on X Saturday.

The 34-year-old is currently the captain of Jammu & Kashmir’s Para cricket team. The cricketer met with an accident when he was 8 years old. He has a unique playing style, and he is an inspiration for everyone. Amir has been playing cricket professionally since 2013 after a teacher discovered his cricketing talent and introduced him to Para Cricket.
