When there’s a saying that goes, “Cricket is my religion and Sachin is my God” chances are, the person the immortal bestowing is directed toward has a pretty good following.

Sachin Tendulkar is arguably one of the most popular cricket stars of all time, not only in his native India but all over the world. For over three decades, he set International records and gained notoriety, while bringing the World Cup to India in 2011. Post-career, Tendulkar has remained incredibly popular, so it shouldn’t come as a shock that the perennial run-scorer has amassed nearly 50 million followers across social media—an influence potential that he has used for simple gestures such as sending out inspirational messages to raising money for cancer research.
