Mumbai: Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has played down Maria Sharapova's ignorance about who he is.
In an interview to a news channel, Tendulkar stated that he didn't expect the tennis star to know him as cricket is not too big in Russia.
During the Wimbledon 2014 Sharapova was asked: "Sachin Tendulkar was the other person who came in at the same time as David (Beckham). Do you know who Sachin is?" The French Open winner flatly replied: "I don't."
This apparently did not go down well with many of the Tendulkar fans leading to various anti-Sharapova comments on social media.
