Sachin Tendulkar likely to attend the big clash.

Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar will most likely be one of the attendees for the mega clash between the Indian cricket team and Pakistan in the upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, on June 9 (Sunday). He is associated with one of the main sponsors of ICC and can be in attendance to cheer for the Men in Blue.

 

Sachin Tendulkar to attend IND vs PAK clash

 

Sachin Tendulkar is hailed as the ‘God of Cricket’ and is inarguably one of the greatest cricketers to grace the sport. He is also the highest run-scorer in the history of the game. His presence would be nothing but special for the Indian team in the big clash against their arch-rivals.

 

"Yes, if all goes well, Sachin will be watching the match in New York and cheering the Indian team. 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," a source working closely with the ICC told PTI.
