Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar shared a heartfelt post for his dad, Ramesh Tendulkar, and remembered him on Father's Day.

Sachin Tendulkar's late father, Ramesh Tendulkar, passed away during the ODI World Cup in 1999, forcing the Indian Cricketer to leave the tournament midway and fly back to the country from England to perform his father's last rites.

After the cremation of Ramesh Tendulkar, Sachin later joined his teammates in England and scored a stupendous hundred. Unfortunately, Team India's voyage came to an end in the Super Eighth after a defeat against New Zealand in the 1999 ODI World Cup.
