Another added, “Sir, I stay in Sachin only which is in Surat. What a great picture of yours.”
“The guy sleeping on the bench doesn’t know who he is missing,” shared a third.
A fourth commented, “Just 1 km away from my house.”
“Welcome to Sachin,” wrote a fifth.
A sixth added, “Welcome to Gujarat sir.”
“Yes, sir, it is an excellent co-incidence. Sachin has been known as an industrial area near Surat for a very long time but then came the iconic cricketer from the same name in the late 1980s,” remarked a seventh.
