Ever since the 83 trailer release, social media has been bombarded with snippets from the trailer that have close resemblances to real life. Of the many posts that have been trending, a film critic shared a still from the trailer proposing if it is the 10-year-old Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar.
I might be wrong, but willing to bet that this is Sachin Tendulkar as a 10 y.o in the film. If yes, then the movie is beyond what happened just on the pitch but how it inspired a generation. #83Trailer pic.twitter.com/FP1hFknvWI
