Sachin Tendulkar is undoubtedly a legend in modern cricket, and the batting maestro has already zeroed in on an Australian cricketer who resembles him, and added that there is “something about him”. Of course, he is not talking about physical resemblance but batting techniques.
The Twitter account of the International Cricket Council (ICC) tweeted a quote of Tendulkar in which he says that he thinks young Marnus Labuschagne resembles him. “A compliment to top all compliments for Australia's Marnus Labuschagne!” the ICC tweeted after
“Marnus Labuschagne's footwork was incredible, so he would be the one (resembling me) I would say. There is something about him,” Sachin Tendulkar was quoted.
