His one-time opening partner Virender Sehwag decided to troll the maestro in a funny but respectful manner.

Sehwag's tweet read

Virender Sehwag was a part of the Hindi commentary team in the India Vs New Zealand Test match and thus he prayed for Sachin's praise.

Tendulkar came back with another witty tweet in reply to Sehwag's which read

The Nawab of Najafgarh, as Sehwag was popularly known, decided to continue the discussion and further tweeted:

🙏 Aashirwad me bhi God ji , apni IPL team ke Maalik ke brand ka zikr karna nahi bhoolte.
Sahi me, Duniya hila dete hain aap God ji https://t.co/RA5eSbOpX7

The former Indian batsman intelligently played on the word 'Jiyo' which sounds similar to the brand 'JIO' owned by Mukesh Ambani.

The Indian business tycoon also IPL side Mumbai Indians which was formerly led by Sachin. The legend is still associated with the franchise as their "icon".

Sachin ended the conversation with a tweet which read:

Woh to apni apni soch ki baat hai. 🤔Tumhari soch ki alag, meri spelling ki alag …😊 https://t.co/BJMfmPsHH6
