Fans quickly reacted to the post with funny and heartwarming comments:
- One fan joked, “Sachin sir to Dr. Strange – please move me to the past so I can enjoy cricket again.”
- Another said, “The Master of the New York Sanctum meets the Master of Cricket.”
Their meeting happened during an exciting day of tennis:
- Carlos Alcaraz from Spain beat Taylor Fritz of the USA in four tough sets (6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6) to reach his third straight Wimbledon final.
- Later, Jannik Sinner, the world’s No. 1 player, defeated tennis great Novak Djokovic in straight sets (6-3, 6-3, 6-4), ending Djokovic’s hopes of winning his 25th Grand Slam title.
Even though there was intense tennis action on the court, the moment between Sachin Tendulkar and Benedict Cumberbatch added something extra special to the day.
Interestingly, back in 2018, Benedict once said during a chat with cricketer Brett Lee that Sachin Tendulkar would be a great Doctor Strange because he’s “extraordinary.”
