In addition to relishing the breathtaking landscapes of the region and engaging with locals, Tendulkar engaged in a game of roadside cricket with a group of boys in the valley.
The cricket icon took to his social media platforms and shared a video as he played cricket with the young boys amidst the picturesque backdrop of Kashmir.
