Sachin Tendulkar took to Twitter to celebrate Friendship Day on Sunday. The batting legend shared a cricket analogy to explain what friendship means to him. “Friendships are like floodlights on a cricket field. They enjoy your success from the corner. But if they realise the sun’s going down on you, they light themselves up to provide brightness around you. For me, everyday is #FriendshipDay,” Sachin Tendulkar said along with a childhood picture of him playing with his friends.
