The sweetest revenge ever by none other than The Master Blaster Mr. Sachin Tendulkar!
Date -October 5, 2007
Venue-Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad
It was the 3rd ODI of the 7 match series between India and Australia. Brad Hogg took Sachin's wicket while he was playing at 43.
And just like any other bowler who had always dreamed of having a delivery in their arsenal that can dismiss Sachin Tendulkar, Brad Hogg was feeling at the top of the world after taking the wicket of the best limited overs batsman ever.
Before the 4th ODI match, Brad Hogg went to a toiling Sachin Tendulkar at nets with the ball he dismissed Sachin with and asked for his autograph!
Any normal player would have just signed the ball and made his fan happy. But Sachin not only did the former but also took an oath the same day and conveyed the same to Brad Hogg.
He wrote on the ball “This will never happen again, Hoggy”.
And Sachin being Sachin, he never got dismisses by Brad Hogg again!
This is perhaps the sweetest revenge in cricket ever.
Another one by Rishabh Pant in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2018 between India and Australia.
It was the 3rd test match of the series and Rishabh Pant was constantly getting sledged by Tim Paine and company.
Also in one of his on field comments even asked Rishabh Pant to baby sit his kids. And Pant replied with a stupendous century in India's 2nd innings.
But Pant was not done with Tim Paine yet. After the conclusion of the series which India eventually won, Rishabh Pant posted the following pic!
That's Rishabh Pant with Tim Paine's wife and kids. How hilarious the pic looks, isn't it?
These two are perhaps the best and the sweetest revenges by players in International Cricket ever! Only Indians know how to handle Australian players' sledging well!
