On Monday, April 24, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, the Master Blaster, will turn 50 years old, marking a significant milestone for Mumbai Indians’ most iconic player. During the match between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings at Wankhede Stadium on April 22, fans in attendance as well as those watching from home will be treated to celebrations in honour of the world’s most loved cricketer.
For those attending the game, surprises are in store, as a series of exciting activities and contests will take place to celebrate Sachin. This special day is not only about the maestro, but also the fans who have followed him on this extraordinary journey.
Sachin made the number 10 jersey iconic in cricket, and this year marks ten years since his last match for India, which also took place at Wankhede Stadium. Saturday’s celebration is also a thank you for a glorious career that saw him finish as the highest run-getter of all time in international cricket, and India’s most-capped Test and ODI player.
