Sachin Tendulkar

Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar yesterday said that India is a sports-loving nation, but has to transform itself into a sports playing nation. "I always mention that India should become a sports-playing nation. We are a sports-loving nation, but we need that transformation where we start playing. Healthy competition is always good," Tendulkar said after inaugurating the SMAAASH centre at Seawoods Grand Central Mall.
