He on social media expressed his appreciation for Lone's persistent dedication and love for the game, along with his wish to meet him in person and receive a jersey bearing his name.

    "And Amir has made the impossible possible. I am so touched watching this! Shows how much love and dedication he has for the game. Hope I get to meet him one day and get a jersey with his name. Well done for inspiring millions who are passionate about playing the sport," Sachin Tendulkar posted on X.

    Tendulkar fulfilled his promise to meet with Lone on his latest visit to Kashmir. A video of their touching meeting went viral and showed Tendulkar giving Lone a cricket bat as a gift. This encounter not only exemplifies Tendulkar's sportsmanship and humility, but also sends a strong message of resilience and inspiration.

    The cricket legend shared a video on Instagram showcasing his meeting with Amir and his family, accompanied by the caption "To Amir, the real hero. Keep inspiring! It was a pleasure meeting you".
