Cricket great and Rajya Sabha MP, Sachin Tendulkar is the most successful batsman in terms of runs and centuries in both ODIs and Tests. During his 24-year long career, the master blaster, though, made his reputation with the ball too. Tendulkar, who could bowl off spin, leg spin and medium pace, often provided India crucial breakthroughs and a number of great batsmen from opposition teams found themselves at sea facing the little master.<\/p>\n

However, on Friday, Tendulkar\u2019s bowling came in for punishment from a young boy. Kabir, who happens to be the son of former India middle order batsman Mohammad Kaif, was seen spanking Tendulkar through covers in a video posted by Tendulkar himself on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Kaif\u2019s son was shown facing a bowling machine at one of the popular gaming centres. The machine displayed Tendulkar as a bowler on the screen and when the delivery was bowled, the youngster managed to carve it through covers.<\/p>\n
