“The one and only Sachin Tendulkar sir!” The joy in shooting sensation Manu Bhaker‘s words was evident as she met India’s cricket legend and posed with him while holding her two Paris Olympics bronze medals.
Pistol queen, Manu, posted the images on X (formerly Twitter).

“Feeling blessed to share this special moment with the cricketing icon! His journey motivated me and many of us to chase our dreams.

Thank you sir for unforgettable memories!,” Manu, who was accompanied by her parents, wrote.
Sachin’s wife, Anjali, can also been seen in the images.

At the Paris Games in July-August this year, Manu created history by becoming the first female shooter from India to win a medal at the Olympics when she won the women’s 10m air pistol bronze medal.
The 22-year-old went on to create another record by becoming the first Indian post-independence to win two medals at the same edition of the Olympics, when she partnered Sarabjot Singh to win the air pistol mixed team bronze medal.
