The Indian cricket legend, Sachin Tendulkar, became the public personality to join the twitter bandwagon.

His first tweet read: ‘Finally the original SRT is on twitter n the first thing I’d like to do is wish my colleagues the best in the windies. Twitter already verified his account, see below. To confirm that he was not an imposter, his very next tweet was a picture of him with director Vidhu Vinod Chopra and photographer Atul Kasbekar. After which, Tendulkar cheekily tweeted, ‘Hanging with vinod chopra and @atulkasbekar…3 more idiots??? ’ Over the next three hours, Tendulkar tweeted six more times, posting three more pictures. Two of which were candid images from Tendulkar’s personal album – one, with his ‘childhood buddy’, Atul Ranade, and another, of him holding giant crabs by the seaside. The third picture was the logo of United Nations Environmental Project (UNEP), which Tendulkar explained, was a part of his initiative as their global ambassador.

Bollywood biggies, including Karan Johar, Shilpa Shetty, Vivek Oberoi and Arjun Rampal, came together to welcome the master blaster on the website. Atul Kasbekar took credit for getting Tendulkar on twitter on Wednesday morning. He tweeted, ‘Lovely quiet evenin wt the Master last nite, I urged him 2b on twitter 2get rid of fakes, in my book that’s just not cricket, hello @sachin_rt .’
