A set of images is being shared to claim that Indian cricket team's test captain Shubman Gill recently received a standing ovation from Sachin Tendulkar and his wife, Anjali, after Gill's knock against England.
What have users said?: Those sharing the images have captioned it saying, "Sachin Tendulkar and His Wife Anjali Gave Standing Ovation to Shubman Gill After his 161 Runs vs Eng."
The above post on Facebook had gained around 28 thousand views. Archives of similar such claims can be found here, here, and here.
Is the claim true?: No, both these images are old and unrelated.
The photograph of Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar dates back to July 2024 and shows the duo attending the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in England.
How did we find that out?: We isolated the second image and performed a reverse image search on it. This directed us to the same visual published on stock image website — Getty Images.
It was published on 6 July 2024.
The image's caption said, "LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 06: Sachin Tendulkar and Anjali Tendulkar attend day six of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 06, 2024 in London, England."
The official X handle of Wimbledon had, too, shared a post welcoming the former cricketer. It was shared on 6 July 2024 and showed Tendulkar dressed in the same attire as seen in the viral post.
About Gill's knock against England: The Indian test captain led from the front and played two spectacular knocks in the second test against England at the Edgbaston stadium.
His form gained praise from people on the internet and former cricketers as well. Tendulkar, too, lauded the performance of the entire team and Gill.
Conclusion: Evidently, the image of Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar standing and applauding is unrelated to the recent victory of India against England.
