Aamir Khan Reveals His “Number One” Favourite Player, Most Memorable Match

February 3, 2025: Aamir Khan’s heartfelt tribute to Sachin Tendulkar as his “number one” favorite cricketer and his reflections on some of Indian cricket’s most iconic moments were truly special.

The 2011 World Cup final, particularly, was an unforgettable experience for many, including Aamir, who was there in the stands as India triumphed over Sri Lanka. That match, with Dhoni’s famous finishing shot, is still etched in the minds of fans, and hearing Aamir share his perspective made it even more memorable.

“Whenever the Indian team is on the field, the feeling is different. If I was a part of the Indian team in any manner, it would have been a big thing for me. It doesn’t matter what position I would be in. It would be a matter of pride for me if it ever happened,” Aamir said in a video posted by the BCCI on X.

Aamir also took the opportunity to express his admiration for Tendulkar, not just as a cricketer but as an individual, highlighting the legend’s impact on the sport and the country. It’s beautiful to hear how much Aamir values the Indian team and cricket as a whole, with his deep connection to the game.

It was also nice to see him celebrate the Indian women’s Under-19 team, showcasing how cricket unites both genders and different generations. The Women’s Under-19 team’s dominant win was another proud moment for Indian cricket, and Aamir’s message added an extra layer of pride for their achievement.
