In a dazzling cricket spectacle at Mumbai’s Dadoji Kondadev Stadium on March 6, the spotlight was claimed by a star-studded cast featuring Ram Charan, Akshay Kumar, Sachin Tendulkar, Boman Irani, and Suriya, who danced to the beats of the ‘Naatu Naatu’ song during the inaugural ceremony. However, it was a subsequent video of actor Suriya engaging in a spirited cricket match with legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar that sent the internet into a frenzy.
Shared on Twitter, the video showcases Suriya at the batting crease, facing deliveries bowled by Sachin Tendulkar. The celebrities participated in an ‘exhibition match’ on the opening day of the event, displaying their cricketing skills and efficiency. Notably, Suriya also shared the field with cricketer Suresh Raina during the match. The Twitterverse has labeled this historic face-off between Sachin and Suriya as a noteworthy moment, with some fans drawing parallels between Suriya’s physique and his iconic ‘Singam’ movie character.
