“I will always be grateful for such a wonderful gift and thank them for their love and respect,” he added.

In the video, he shared on his Twitter handle, Sachin recollected when Brian Lara had come to his home and played the drums. “It sounded amazing,” he said.

“Let’s see if I can play a bit. I know it’s not gonna sound like that but this is my tribute to all of you. Thank you for everything that you have done for me,” the cricketer said, before playing the instrument.
