Although he was left behind by Virat Kohli for a record of most centuries at his home site of Wankhed Stadium during the 2023 Cricket World Cup, the demonstration of respect by a man honored as ‘King’ proves that Sachin’s 49 tonnes are more than a statistical and not a special place in everyone’s heart.
