New Delhi. Former star batsman of Team India Sachin Tendulkar also remains in the news due to his calm behaviour. Apart from being a cricketer, he is also the brand ambassador of many companies. Sachin had said in an interview that once a company was giving him a blank cheque. Despite this, he refused to accept this cheque. As soon as he refused the cheque, he showed the mirror to legends like Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and Virender Sehwag.
In fact, while speaking at an event, Sachin Tendulkar had said, “I started playing cricket during my schooling. Since then, I started getting many promotional offers. Many tobacco companies asked me to promote them but I never did it. Because I had promised my father that I would never advertise tobacco products.”

Sachin had said that I did receive offers from many tobacco companies. But I never accepted them. They even used to give me blank cheques but I never accepted these cheques. My father had said that you are a role model, the world will follow whatever you follow. That is why I have never promoted any tobacco products till date.
Let us tell you that Sachin has never done it but legends like Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and Virender Sehwag have promoted tobacco products. All these three cricketers have promoted tobacco products. All these players have been amazing on the cricket field. Kapil Dev made India win the World Cup for the first time. Apart from Kapil Dev, Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag have scored more than 10000 runs in international cricket. Kapil Dev has 9031 runs to his name.
