“Well, it’s a pleasant surprise. The president is here, and Mr Kale and the other committee members are going to join us in a while. We’ve come here to identify a spot. The idea was shared with me, and as I said it is a pleasant surprise. My career had started here and this is like the completion of a big circle,”
Tendulkar to ANI.
“It’s been a journey with unbelievable memories and the best moment of my cricketing career came here when we won the World Cup in 2011. The reason that happened was a long time ago when Ramakant Achrekar sir (Sachin’s coach) reprimanded me and from there on, I became a serious cricketer. The last international game I played also at this very ground so it’s very special and a great moment for me.”
Wankhede a special place for Sachin Tendulkar
The Wankhede Stadium is a special place for Sachin Tendulkar fans. In 2011, Sachin won his first ODI World Cup trophy there. It was a big moment for him and for all his fans. Sachin’s performance was incredible, and it made the day unforgettable for cricket lovers around the world.
Two years later, Sachin played his last international game at the Wankhede Stadium. It was in a second Test match against the West Indies in November 2013. This was an emotional moment for Sachin’s fans because they knew it would be his final game. Many people came to see the match and to say goodbye to one of the greatest cricketers of all time.
