Speaking to reporters upon his arrival, the cricket icon shared that his visit to Ranchi was in support of the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation’s collaboration with the Youth Foundation, aimed at nurturing talent among budding women football players.
Renowned for his unparalleled achievements on the cricket field, Sachin Tendulkar boasts a stellar career record, amassing a staggering 34,357 runs in 664 international appearances at an average of 48.52. His legacy includes an unmatched tally of 100 centuries and 164 half-centuries, making him a true titan of the sport.
Not just limited to batting prowess, Sachin also contributed with his part-time spin bowling, claiming 201 international wickets throughout his illustrious career.
