Sachin and Roger Federer are considered to be the all-time greats of their respective sport. But you may have seen Sachin trying his hands at Tennis, but do Federer play Cricket? Well, he gave a glimpse of his Cricketing prowess by playing a proper cricket shot amidst a Wimbledon match. Don’t believe me? watch the video here:

Federer had an easy walk over his opponent with the score of 6-0,7-5,6-4 in the fourth round, but when he was leading the first set by 2-0, Mannarino’s default serve was defended by Federer in almost “cricket” style. Wimbledon’s Twitter handle asked ICC to rate Federer’s shot. The ICC twitter handle was quick to respond. The cricketing body ‘admitted’ that shot was actually good and joked about ranking Federer as the No. 1 Test batsmen in the World.

ICC even shared a screenshot of the Test batting rankings which showed the 20-time Grand Slam winner as the No. 1 batsmen in the World. ICC then compared the two sporting greats using the famous Spiderman meme.
