Having made his debut in 1989, Sachin remains the highest run-scorer in both Tests and ODIs. He also has the record for scoring most international tons.

The 48-year-old amassed 34,357 runs in international cricket, across formats, with 51 and 49 centuries in Tests and ODIs, respectively.

Sachin recently hit out at a casino for using his morphed image for their promotion. He said he would also initiate legal action against the casino for the same.

Taking to Twitter, Sachin stressed that he was pained to see his images "being used to mislead people".

"I have never endorsed gambling, tobacco or alcohol - directly or indirectly, in an individual capacity. It pains to see that my images are being used to mislead people," he had tweeted.
