Sachin Tendulkar's recent tweet sparked discussions among fans, recalling past umpiring controversies. He shared a photo of himself playfully shadow-batting in front of a tree, captioned with a question about an umpire's poor decisions. Fans quickly identified former umpire Steve Bucknor, known for several incorrect calls against Tendulkar, particularly during a 2003 match against Australia. Bucknor's name began trending on social media as fans reminisced about these moments. Tendulkar's tweet comes just days before India faces Australia in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Bucknor, who officiated in 128 Tests, has acknowledged making mistakes in his decisions involving Tendulkar.
