The legend himself will be supporting the Indian cricket team as in Tendulkar is expected to be present during their marquee T20 World Cup clash against arch-rivals Pakistan in New York on June 9.
According to a source close to ICC, Tendulkar, who is associated with a brand that is one of the key sponsors of the global body, will be in attendance at the Nassau County ground. It is expected that the stadium will be full to the brim to watch this spectacle.
“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.
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.
The team has already started light training after a couple of days of rest. Rohit Sharma will lead team India, while the Pakistani squad will be led by Babar Azam.
