As soon as Sachin's driver started approaching him and opened the umbrella, his horse panicked. It started stomping and jumping. Naturally, an inexperienced rider that Sachin is he could not control the horse and had his first great fall.

Quips a smiling Sachin, "I could sense the agitation of my horse and shouted to my driver, not to come too close with umbrella. But he would not listen. Naturally my horse jumped and I fell down.
