Sachin Tendulkar plays elegant strokes with his left hand, posts video on social media

New Delhi [India], August 13 (ANI): Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar celebrated the 'International Left-Handers Day' in style, by playing some delightful, well-timed shots using his left hand in a video posted on social media.
International Left-Handers Day is observed every year on August 13 to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals.
Dean R. Campbell established International Lefthanders Day in 1976 to raise awareness of the challenges lefties face on a daily basis. He founded the 'Left-Handers International Inc.' and ever since the day is celebrated every year on August 13.
Sachin, a right-handed batter throughout his career, took to X and posted a video of him playing cricket with his left hand. The Master Blaster played some delightful slogs and drives as left-hander. Each shot was timed and well-crafted with the perfection that made the cricketer a legend over his two-decade long career.
"This one is for my left-handed friends... Happy #InternationalLeftHandersDay!," tweeted Sachin.
