Sachin Tendulkar is a perfect example to how you refer to someone as a classy and legend at the same time. He is now brilliantly enjoying his second innings “life after retirement”. That doesn’t mean he is sitting idle but Master Blaster is trying his hands at doing things which he earlier missed due to busy cricket itinerary.
It’s more than 2-year since Sachin Tendulkar officially announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. At first, it seemed unimaginable and rumor, but the Master Blaster’s last day on the field happened to be on 16th November 2013, when he played his last match – 200th Test – against West Indies in Mumbai. And since then Tendulkar is busy with several things after retirement.
Here are a few amazing things that Sachin Tendulkar undertook after his retirement.
Top 6 Things that Sachin Tendulkar is doing these days:
