Tendulkar inaugurated his statue on November 1. Meanwhile, the Indian captain Rohit was requested whether or not he noticed the statue and knew which shot Tendulkar was depicting taking part in in it.Â
“Practice pe jab pahuche toh humne dekhna statue par itne closely dekhne nahi mila kyun ki hum practice kar rhe the aur press conference itna delay karwa diya humare media manager ne (laughs). Toh itna pass se dekhne ko nahi mila. We came back, I finished my batting and I came here now. Par mauka milega acche se dekhne ka.(Yes, we saw it when we came to practice, but couldn’t see from close by. Our practice was also delayed by the media manager (laughs). But yeah, we will get to see it closely later,” Sharma mentioned in the pre-match press convention forward of the IND vs SL conflict in Mumbai.Â
“Mujhe toh abhi yeh bhi nahi pata ki kaun sa shot hai vo. Ab kya bolu main usme? Straight lofted shot ka statue banaya hai wahan pe.(What more can I say, they have made a statue of straight lofted shot. It’s nice, I hope you guys enjoyed it, we saw the statue, it’s fantastic,” the Indian captain added.
Tendulkar was accompanied by his spouse and daughter for the particular ceremony at his house floor. He acknowledged that it was a particular second for him. “It is indeed a special moment for me. It was around February when Shelar and Kale called me on behalf of the MCA, they said we are having this thought of having your statue inside the stadium. I was extremely delighted, to be honest. I did not know how to react,” Tendulkar on the occasion.
