“Emotional moment” was Sachin Tendulkar’s recollection of his retirement.
This thread belonged to his father, according to Mr. Kohli.
Returned it to Kohli, claiming it was priceless, was Sachin’s explanation.
The moment Sachin Tendulkar had to return a “present” given to him by Virat Kohli after his retirement was an emotional one, as he recently recalled.
Indian cricket fans were devastated when Sachin Tendulkar announced his retirement in 2013. Millions of cricket fans around the country looked up to him, but even his younger teammates looked up to him. Virat Kohli, who was just beginning his international career, was one of them. At the end of his career, Tendulkar had to return something that Kohli had given him, and it was an emotional occasion for the former Indian captain. It was a holy thread that Kohli had inherited from his late father and handed it to Tendulkar as a gift.
“In the end, I was alone in a corner with a towel over my head. My eyes were watering, and I was overcome with emotion. He gave me the sacred thread his father had given him at that time, Virat “On Graham Bensinger’s YouTube channel, Tendulkar revealed his thoughts.
In an interview, Kohli explained why he chose to give the present.
“Our wrists are generally adorned with threads. Dozens of people in India do this on a regular basis. As a result, I now possess one that belonged to my father. So I kept it in my backpack at all times. I suddenly realized that this is the most valuable thing I own. And so, my father gave it to me as a gift, and I couldn’t give you anything more significant than this, and I just wanted to let you know how much I admire and appreciate you, and here is my small token of gratitude “Kohli made the comment.
When he received the present from Kohli, Tendulkar said that he felt compelled to return it.
“Afterwards, I returned that to him once more. I told you that this is precious and that it is yours and yours alone. You own this and you should keep it to the end of your days. I returned it to him. So it was an emotional experience, one that will be etched in my mind forever.”
