"The unplanned visit of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar at Lord's, who was in town to catch the action at Wimbledon, swept everyone off their feet. Sachin came at Yuvraj''s special request, and conducted a net session with the future cricket stars, while imparting his vast knowledge and experience in the profession and coaching the young players to improve their cricket skills and techniques," said the release.
