Nearly a decade after calling curtains on his glittering international career, ‘Master Blaster’ Sachin Tendulkar is set to be awarded with one of the highest honours for his unrivalled contribution towards Indian and Mumbai cricket. He will be commemorated with a colossus life-size statue that will be reportedly installed inside the iconic Wanklhede stadium either on the occasion of his 50th birthday on April 24 or during the ICC ODI World Cup later this year.
The 39-year-old, who may well have cemented his status as the greatest player of all time after lifting the 2011 World Cup, began his baby steps in the sport in his home city of Mumbai. Interestingly, it was at the Wankhede where he became a World Cup-winning member in 2011 and later went on to play his final international game and 200th Test match.
