An Unscripted Chat: Harbhajan Singh and Sachin Tendulkar
Harbhajan Singh: Sachin Paaji! Great to see you. It’s been a while since we sat down for a chat. How are things?
Sachin Tendulkar: Bhajji! Yes, it has been some time. Things are good, and it’s always a pleasure to catch up with you. How’s everything on your end?
Harbhajan Singh: Can’t complain, Paaji. Life is good, but you know how it is—once a cricketer, always a cricketer. I still feel that itch to get back on the field sometimes.
Sachin Tendulkar: I know exactly what you mean. The field has a way of calling you back, doesn’t it? Speaking of which, do you miss spinning the ball and outfoxing the batsmen?
Harbhajan Singh: Oh, absolutely! There’s nothing like that feeling when you deceive a top-order batsman with a well-flighted delivery. It’s like solving a puzzle. What about you? Do you ever pick up the bat at home, just for the heck of it?
Sachin Tendulkar: (Laughs) Actually, I do. Sometimes I practice shadow batting, much to the amusement of my family. It’s a great way to stay connected to the game. But tell me, Bhajji, what are your thoughts on the current crop of spinners in India?
Harbhajan Singh: It’s an exciting time for Indian cricket, Paaji. The young spinners like Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have shown so much promise. But, I think mentoring them and sharing our experiences would really help them scale new heights. What do you think?
Sachin Tendulkar: I couldn’t agree more. Experience is invaluable, and we’ve gained so much over the years. Passing that knowledge on is one of the most fulfilling parts of retirement. By the way, have you been involved in any coaching or mentoring roles lately?
Harbhajan Singh: Yes, I’ve done some work with the younger players, and it’s such a rewarding experience. Seeing their eyes light up when they grasp a new concept is priceless. What about you, Paaji? Any plans to take up a full-time coaching role, perhaps?
Sachin Tendulkar: You never know, Bhajji. Coaching does have its allure. But for now, I’m enjoying my time with the family and working on various cricketing initiatives. We’ll see what the future holds. Speaking of the future, any plans to return to commentary boxes soon?
Harbhajan Singh: (Smiling) You know me, I love to talk. Commentary is definitely on the cards. It’s another way to stay connected with the game and share insights with fans. Plus, it’s always fun to see the game from a different perspective.
Sachin Tendulkar: Absolutely. Cricket has given us so much, and being able to give back in any form is a blessing. Here’s to many more years of contributing to the sport we love, Bhajji.
Harbhajan Singh: Cheers to that, Paaji! It’s always a pleasure catching up with you. Until next time.
Sachin Tendulkar: Likewise, Bhajji. Take care and keep spinning those tales—both on and off the field!
