From making a debut at an early age to becoming the first and only player to date to score 100 centuries, the "Master Blaster" of Indian cricket gave many memories to the fans.

In Chennai, when Tendulkar ordered a coffee in his room, one waiter came and asked the Indian superstar whether he could discuss something on cricket with him. Sachin Tendulkar known for his calm and soft-spoken nature did not deny the waiter's request and said, "Yes! please go ahead."

"Whenever I have seen you wear an arm guard, your bat swing changes. I'm your huge fan. I have seen your batting, rewind it five, seven times and I've watched every ball multiple times", said the waiter.

"And that's why, I thought whenever you wore an elbow guard, your bat swing changed a bit", the waiter added.

In reply, Tendulkar said, "Yes, you are the only person in the world who has figured out that."

Later, Sachin Tendulkar redesigned his elbow guard in the room with the correct size, well amount of padding, strap position and etc.
