IND Vs PAK, T20 World Cup 2024: Sachin Tendulkar Likely To Be Present In New York For Marquee Clash

Sachin Tendulkar played six 50-over World Cups between 1992 and 2011 and won the title in his last appearance.

New Delhi: In what comes a major boost for the Indian cricket team at the T20 World Cup 2024, legendary Sachin Tendulkar is expected to be present at the marquee encounter against Pakistan on June 9 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on June 9. According to a PTI report, Tendulkar is associated with a brand that is one of the key sponsors of the International Cricket Council and will be in attendance during the high-voltage clash.

“Yes, if all goes well, Sachin will be watching the match in New York and cheering the Indian team,” a source working closely with the ICC told PTI on conditions of anonymity. “It is still not known if he would meet the players prior to the game or not but his mere presence in the stands will certainly be a morale booster for Rohit Sharma and his men in what will be the most important group league assignment.”

Tendulkar, inarguably the greatest ever Indian cricketer to grace international cricket still tops the run-scoring charts in both Tests and ODI cricket. He has played six 50-over World Cups between 1992 and 2011. He has earlier also been a ‘Brand Ambassador’ of ICC during the 2015 ODI World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
