Namibia President Recalls Dismissing Sachin Tendulkar at 2003 World Cup

  • Namibia Cricket President Rudie Van Vuuren shared memories of dismissing Sachin Tendulkar in the 2003 ODI World Cup.
  • Van Vuuren, a former right-arm medium pacer, bowled Tendulkar after the 'Master Blaster' scored 152 runs.
  • He described the ball as so slow it 'almost didn’t hit the bails off the stumps,' calling it a 'prized wicket'.
  • Van Vuuren is also a conservationist, medical doctor, rugby player, pilot, and father.
  • He fondly recalled a post-match interaction with Tendulkar, praising his humbleness and interest in rugby.
