Twitter responds to Sachin Tendulkar’s ICC hall of fame induction
Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar was recently inducted as one of three latest members to enter the ICC’s official Cricket Hall of Fame. Understandably, the reaction has been almost unanimously positive.
The ICC launched their hall of fame in 2009 to honour the greatest players the sport of cricket has seen over the past 100+ years.
The initial inductees were those that comprised the FICA Hall of Fame which ran from 1999 to 2003, with legendary names from years past including W.G Grace, Sir Donald Bradman, Kapil Dev and Sir Vivian Richards included.
This year, the little master Sachin Tendulkar has joined legendary South African speedster Allan Donald and Australian Cathryn Fitzpatrick in joining the illustrious club.

Perhaps the most impressive accolade on Tendulkar’s lengthy list of achievements is being the first and so far only man ever to score a century of centuries in international cricket,
