New Delhi. The statue of Sachin Tendulkar, known as the God of Cricket, will be installed at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This statue is being installed 10 years after Sachin’s retirement. Statues of many players have not been installed in India, nor has attention ever been paid to it. On the other hand, Sachin further said that Wankhede Stadium means a lot to him. He started his career from here. Sachin said that his coach Ramakant Acherkar had instilled in him an interest in cricket at this very ground.
Sachin told that he started his career from this ground as well. In such a situation, this ground meant a lot to him. He said that the 2011 World Cup was also won by Team India against Sri Lanka in this ground. He has many memories attached to this stadium. In such a situation, when he got the news that his statue was being built in this stadium, he was very happy. Sachin himself came to this stadium with his wife Anjali and shared information about this statue while interacting with the media.
