Tendulkar’s statue unveiled at Wankhede Stadium

Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, who celebrated his 50th birthday this year is fondly known as the “King of Mumbai”. The Mumbai Cricket Association unveiled a statue of Sachin Tendulkar at his home ground, the Wankhede Cricket Stadium.

During the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup match between Sri Lanka and India, Tendulkar and cricket icon Muthiah Muralidaran were in attendance.

The event, held at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, was part of a joint initiative between ICC and UNICEF to celebrate “One Day 4 Children”. The initiative carries a message of hope and support for every child to survive and thrive.

This collaboration is a partnership between the Board of Control for Cricket in India and Sri Lanka Cricket, serving as vital component of a broader campaign that harnesses the global reach of the Cricket World Cup. The campaign’s goal is to construct a better world for every child, creating equal opportunities for girls and boys.
