Google CEO Sundar Pichai is a big-time sports fan and often expresses his love for different games through his Twitter handle. Whether it’s cheering for Lionel Messi or expressing his happiness over meeting master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, Sundar Pichai has proved time and again that he is a fanboy when it comes to cricket, football, and some other sports.
Let’s take a look at some of the times Sundar Pichai tweeted about cricket, football, and other games.
On Kylian Mbappe’s winning goal
Kylian Mbappe made a lot of headlines recently after hitting the winning goal in a match that all had thought would be a draw between Real Madrid and PSG. The PSG won by 1-0 and after watching the match highlights, Sundar Pichai took to Twitter and wrote, “Finally saw the psg-real highlights, that Mbappe finish at the end!”
Celebrating the return of cricket
Celebrating the return of International cricket from a four-month break due to Covid, Sundar Pichai tweeted in July 2020, “Yep, glad cricket is back!”
Meeting the Master Blaster
In July 2019, Sachin Tendulkar had shared two pictures with Sundar Pichai. His caption read, “Kya yeh Sundar pic-hai?” Pichai had the best reply and wrote, ” As Mahi bhai would say, “Bahut Badhiya”. Pleasure watching the game with you, brought back great memories, till next time.” MS Dhoni is known to use the phrase ‘bahut badhiya’ during matches. Only a true Dhoni fan would know this!
Socrates reference
Not just cricket, Sundar Pichai knows his literature as well. Back in 2015, a tweet from him read, “I have followed football since the days of Socrates, Zico and the glorious Brazilian team then. Today is a good day.”
