Sudhir Kumar Chaudhary is known to be one of the most passionate fans in India. The Sachin Tendulkar fan can be seen in almost all of India’s international matches. His hopes of attending all the matches for the ODI series took a hit when it was announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that all matches in the series in Pune would take place without spectators behind closed doors.
However, Sudhir was seen watching the first ODI live from a hilltop near the MCA Stadium. The superfan was spotted by the broadcasters’ cameras during the match. He also posted images from his watching experience on his Instagram handle which have now gone viral.
The second ODI takes place on the 26th of March.
