Railway station in Gujarat named after Sachin Tendulkar as ‘Sachin Railway Station
No doubt Sachin Tendulkar had carved a niche for himself as a Cricketer to reckon with. He had made the country winning matches abroad. His popularity reached a crescendo that a railway station near Surat in Gujarat has been named after him.
There are some veteran Cricketers who had done India proud, and although a stand in a cricket stadium has been named after them, but not a railway station. It has been only Sachin Tendulkar.
Interestingly, recently, Indian cricket commentator and former India captain Sunil Gavaskar taking to his Instagram shared a picture of himself at Sachin railway station.
He even heaped praises on the people of the last century for their foresight in naming the station in Gujarat after his ‘favourite cricketer’. Not just this, he even tagged Sachin Tendulkar in his post, who couldn’t resist dropping a comment.
To this Sachin Tendulkar couldn’t resist in reacting to Gavaskar’s picture at a railway station in Gujarat after his ‘favourite cricketer’. Not just this, he even tagged Sachin Tendulkar in his post, who couldn’t resist dropping a comment.
The caption to the picture read as “What foresight of those in the last century to name a railway station near Surat after one of the all time greats of our game and my favourite cricketer but more importantly my favourite person,”.
The photo shows Gavaskar posing at Sachin Railway Station, pointing towards its name.
Reacting to Gavaskar, Tendulkar commented, “Your words mean a lot, Gavaskar sir. Happy to see that the weather at Sachin is Sunny!”
There has been others who reacted to this post:
“You are at a railway station and people are unaware of your presence,” posted an individual.
Another added, “Sir, I stay in Sachin only which is in Surat. What a great picture of yours.”
“The guy sleeping on the bench doesn’t know who he is missing,” shared a third.
A fourth commented, “Just 1 km away from my house.”
“Welcome to Sachin,” wrote a fifth.
A sixth added, “Welcome to Gujarat sir.”
A seventh wrote “Yes, sir, it is an excellent co-incidence. Sachin has been known as an industrial area near Surat for a very long time but then came the iconic cricketer from the same name in the late 1980s.”
