The greatest batter of all-time across the three formats of the game of world cricket and of course for India, Sachin Tendulkar, was seen to be playing cricket with a bat inside a flight when it was high in the air. He was joined by his family as the video went viral around social media in a very short time, with the fans giving their reaction.

Tendulkar was always known for his excellent technique in the middle with the bat, creating challenges for the bowlers. And he was still the same even inside the field after retiring from the game for more than a decade.

At a high altitude, Tendulkar was seen to be taken out with his bat as his wife bowled at him. He challenged his partner to dismiss him and also reckoned that it would never happen.

Watch Sachin Tendulkar playing cricket in flight- 

No matter what the altitude is, the attitude should never change. You will never get me out. You will just never be able to get me out. The only possibility of that is if I hold the bat in this way (shows in the video).Tendulkar said in the video.

The first ball was defended by his daughter, who was sitting very close to the action and had the best seat on the plane. Suddenly, Tendulkar held the bat in a different manner and used the handle to hit the ball as his daughter finally grabbed a good catch. The video went viral quickly on social media platforms.

The Mumbai-born is the leading run-getter across the three formats. He has smashed 34357 runs in 782 innings at an average of 48.52 and a strike rate of 67.58 (as per data available), thanks to 100 centuries and 164 half-centuries at the best score of unbeaten 248 runs during the Test match against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

In the 50-over format, India's Tendulkar is the leading run-getter with 18426 runs in 452 innings at an average of 44.38 and a strike rate of 86.23, with the help of 49 centuries and 96 half-centuries at the best score of 200 runs.
