Sachin Tendulkar to Attend India-Pakistan T20 World Cup Clash in New York

Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is expected to grace the highly anticipated T20 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan on June 9 in New York. The 51-year-old icon, who has a long-standing association with a key ICC sponsor, is likely to be present at the Nassau County ground to lend his support to the Indian team led by Rohit Sharma.

According to sources within the ICC, the stadium located on the outskirts of New York is anticipated to be packed to capacity for the morning clash between the arch-rivals. Tendulkar's presence will undoubtedly amplify the excitement and significance of this marquee encounter.

"Yes, if all goes well, Sachin will be watching the match in New York and cheering the Indian team," a source closely associated with the ICC revealed to PTI on condition of anonymity. "It is still uncertain whether he will meet the players before the game, but his mere presence in the stands will undoubtedly boost the morale of Rohit Sharma and his men in what will be their most crucial group league assignment."

Tendulkar, widely regarded as the greatest Indian cricketer of all time, continues to hold the record for the highest run-scorer in both Test and ODI cricket. He has participated in six 50-over World Cups between 1992 and 2011.

Notably, Tendulkar has previously served as the ICC's 'Brand Ambassador' during the 2015 ODI World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand. His presence at the T20 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan is expected to add an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to the already highly charged atmosphere.
