Former India skipper Sachin Tendulkar - widely regarded as the ‘God of Cricket’ - continues to stay active on social media. Recently, he shared a funny video in which he plays a clever prank on a friend. The video was posted on April 1st (Wednesday), the globally celebrated day for pranks and jokes.

In the clip, Tendulkar enlists the help of a lookalike, someone who bears a striking resemblance to him, to pull off the prank. Captioning the post, he wrote: "If you haven't played a prank on them, are they really your friends?"

The prank unfolds with Sachin giving a thumbs-up to his lookalike, who is seated on a chair. His unsuspecting friend walks in and mistakes the seated person for the real Tendulkar, attempting to hug him from behind. The lookalike then reacts angrily to the hug, all while the scene is being recorded.

Finally, the real Tendulkar emerges from behind, laughing heartily, at which point his friend realizes he has been pranked.
