Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian cricket legend, received a standing ovation from a packed Centre Court at Wimbledon on Saturday (July 6). As soon as the member of the 2011-ODI World Cup-winning Indian cricket team and the record run-scorer in international cricket was introduced, the crowd gave a round of applause to welcome the batting master. Tendulkar, who looked dapper in a beige-coloured suit, waved his hands in a gesture of acknowledgement. 

"It's great to welcome you back to Centre Court, @sachin_rt," Wimbledon captioned the video on X (formerly Twitter).
