Rajinikanth and Sachin Tendulkar came together at the awards ceremony of the 25 Greatest Global Living Legends. After the cricketer's first encounter with namma Rajini, Sachin heaped praises on the Endhiran actor.

Sachin Tendulkar described his first meeting with Rajinikanth as "Fantastic". The cricketer has said that he worked with many men from South and he had heard about namma actor from them. Sachin felt pity because he couldn't meet the iconic actor earlier. It was because they could not get an opportunity to meet each other.

"Fantastic! I mean when you watch him. There are so many players in the team who come from the Southern part of India and they are unbelievable fans of Rajini sir and so am I. It was a pity that I wasn't able to meet him earlier because I didn't have any access to him. It was very kind of him to come meet me this morning and I was absolutely floored by his humility. What a man! I'm glad we could meet and he is someone I really admire," The Times of India quoted Sachin as saying.

Sachin Tendulkar ends on the note that he was happy that Rajinikanth follows cricket and they discussed about India-Pakistan matches.
