Dressed in a beige-coloured suit, Tendulkar, with a smile on his face, could be seen waving his hands in acknowledgement after the crowd at the Centre Court gave him a rousing welcome.

‘It’s great to welcome you back to Centre Court, @sachin_rt,’ Wimbledon wrote on X with a video.

The announcer in the Centre Court also welcomed the Indian maestro.

“We are also joined by legend of the game from India, another World Cup winner and the all-time run-scorer in cricket history. Please welcome Sachin Tendulkar,” the announcer could be heard saying in the video.

It was a cricketers’ day out at the Centre Court as England’s Test and white-ball captains Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler, and former skipper Joe Root were also present among the attendees in the Royal Box, sitting just behind Tendulkar.

‘Three @englandcricket superstars join us in the Royal Box. It’s great to have @root66, @benstokes38 and @josbuttler with us at #Wimbledon,’ read another post.

The cricketers were here to enjoy the third-round fixture between Germany’s Alexander Zevrev and UK’s Cameron Norrie.

Moreover, Roger Federer was also present. He was later seen catching up with Tendulkar. Winbledon posted a photo of the pair on X and captioned it as, ‘You never know who you’ll bump into at #Wimbledon’.
