Sachin Tendulkar Denies Picking All-Time XI, Calls Report 'Fake'

Several reports have been circulating on social media which claim ex-India batter Sachin Tendulkar assembled the greatest XI of all-time.

New Delhi: Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar took to Twitter to deny recurring reports circulating on social media about him picking an all-time XI. The 'Master Blaster' on Friday also urged everyone to report such articles as 'fake'. Several reports have been circulating on social media which claim that the 49-year-old ex-India batter assembled the greatest XI of all-time. Interestingly, as per the reports, Sachin, regarded as the 'God of Cricket', excluded himself from the list.

"There are recurring reports about an all time XI list being picked by me. These are false, and if you come across these, kindly report the same as fake," Sachin Tendulkar asserted via his official Twitter handle.

Earlier in January this year, 100MB issued clarification over the fake news articles. 100MB is a mobile application developed by JetSynthesys and envisioned by legend Sachin himself.

As per the recurring reports, Sachin's all-time XI had some surprising omissions. Notably, apart from Sachin himself, one of the world's greatest captains MS Dhoni, legendary batter Virat Kohli, 'The Wall' Rahul Dravid, and greatest spinner of all-time Muttiah Muralitharan are some of the prominent cricketing names missing from viral and fake Sachin's all-time XI. 

Sachin Tendulkar’s fake all-time playing XI circulating on social media: Virender Sehwag, Sunil Gavaskar, Brian Lara, Viv Richards, Jacques Kallis, Sourav Ganguly, Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, Harbhajan Singh, and Glenn McGrath.
