New Delhi, April 3: India's cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar entertained the fans with his batting exploits on the cricket pitch but the 'Master Blaster' has come up with a wonderful surprise for his millions of fans in his birthday month.

The iconic former India cricketer teamed up with Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam to make his singing debut.

Tendulkar, who is still the heatthrob of the cricket-crazy nation, sang a song titled "Cricket waali beat".

Here's the video of the song:

The song was released worldwide on the grand finale of singing TV reality show "Indian Idol 9" on Sunday (April 2) night on Sony Entertainment Television.

Talking about the video Nigam was quoted as saying, "I am glad to be part of Sachin's new innings. The song that he has sung with me is called 'Cricket waali beat'. I was very surprised to see the way he was pitching right. That's why I believe that when God blesses someone with genius, it spills in other faculties too."

The popular singer vouched for the Little Master's singing skills, whom nightingale Lata Mangeshwar calls her son.

"He is a very good singer. We did not use pitch corrector on his voice as he was singing in the right sur (tone) and (despite being) the shy person that he is, he got extremely comfortable the moment I kind of increased the masti (fun) quotient while we were shooting the video. It was wonderful and I am very happy that people are loving the song," the singer said.

Tendulkar fans couldn't stop themselves from praising their favourite star after watching the video.
