#3 When Sachin Tendulkar got kissed by a fan
The God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar did not long to make himself a crowd favourite. Just a few years after making his debut for India, he encountered a bizarre yet funny moment on the cricket field while batting.
In a match against New Zealand way back in 1994, an Indian fan came running onto the field to kiss Sachin Tendulkar, and he was quite successful in doing it, too. This was the first time that Tendulkar was opening an innings. He went on to score a quickfire 82 off 49 deliveries and by doing so, made that position his own.
Sachin did not really react to the kiss on his cheek, and the fan was immediately rushed out of the ground by security.
