What if: Indian cricketers were Bollywood movies

Sachin Tendulkar as Sholay

Sholay is the most iconic movie of Indian cinema. The interesting part about the movie is that it received poor returns in its first two weeks, and only the viewership only picked up in the third week. Soon, it went onto to become an all-time blockbuster. It also had one of the longest theatrical runs in Indian cinema.

Probably the greatest Indian cricketer of all time, Sachin Tendulkar scored his first ODI century only in 1994, after playing 79 matches. He went onto break almost every possible batting record in cricket today. A legend in every possible manner, Tendulkar has a cult following, even after retiring from competitive cricket.
