Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar said that stepping into the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday was even more special since he shared the field with former England footballer David Beckham.
The two renowned sports personalities watched the first semi-final match of the ODI World Cup 2023 between India and New Zealand at Wankhede Stadium.
The ‘Master Blaster’ took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account and wrote that he and Beckham stand together and share the common goal to inspire and encourage children worldwide to chase their dreams.
“Stepping into the Wankhede Stadium is always memorable, but it was even more special yesterday, sharing the field with my friend and fellow UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, David Beckham. Together, we stand for a common goal – to inspire and encourage children worldwide to chase their dreams. Here’s to being champions, not just in cricket, but in every walk of life,” Tendulkar wrote on X.
Beckham is currently in the country as a goodwill ambassador of the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF). The International Cricket Council (ICC) has entered into a partnership with UNICEF to empower women and girls and promote inclusion and gender equality through cricket.
