Sara Tendulkar Fulfills Sachin’s Dream: Jadeja, Agarkar Attend Special Occasion

Sara Tendulkar Fulfills Sachin’s Dream: Sachin Tendulkar is one of the best cricketers in the history of cricket. One who has climbed high in the glory of hard times. Switch off the TV, as every kid of the '90s will swear when the master gets out. All the same, Sachin Tendulkar continues the quest for excellence even after his retirement, contributing a good deal towards the betterment of society.

The Sachin Tendulkar Foundation recently celebrated its five-year anniversary. At this event, Sachin's daughter Sara also took over as the Foundation's official head.

Sara said that she really did want to be a part of the foundation to continue the good work of her parents.

"I realised that the foundation's work serves multiple purposes. It affects the lives of children as well as the lives of their families and their communities. This is truly the work that I want to be a part of," said Sara Tendulkar.

"It's so humbling to step on board and join my parents along with our NGO partners in carrying these efforts forward. Over the last five years, we've reached more than a hundred thousand children across India. That's one lakh lives changed and one lakh reasons to keep going," she added.

The celebration of five years was graced by Coldplay front-man Chris Martin and was attended by former cricketers Pravin Amre, Irfan Pathan, Ajit Agarkar, and Ajay Jadeja.

'Journey has been satisfying'

For those unaware, Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar started the Foundation in order to aid the underprivileged in the areas of health, education, and sports for development.

"I remember while I was growing up, my passion was cricket, and the greatest gift my parents gave me was the freedom to choose what I wanted to be in life. Hence, this is something that I want to do for them. We've already done it but it doesn't stop here, it continues," said Sachin Tendulkar as he gave a special address.

"The last five years have been truly incredible. The journey has been satisfying, fulfilling, heart-touching," he added.

During her address on stage, Sachin's wife Anjali said, "I used to wonder what it was like for Sachin to have to walk out to bat in front of thousands of people. I should have kept my thoughts to myself because he has insisted that I walk onto the pitch today as an opener."

"This evening is even more special because for the first time we have all our partners together under one roof with our friends and family," she added.
