Rohit gets Test cap from Sachin
Kolkata: Rohit Sharma on Wednesday made his long-awaited Test debut here, getting his coveted cap from none other than Sachin Tendulkar who is playing in his farewell series. Medium pacer Mohammed Shami also made his debut on his home ground – Eden Gardens – and was presented with the cap by Ishant Sharma.
Another goof-up by CAB
Kolkata: After having made a goof-up in spelling Sachin Tendulkar’s name, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) were in for another embarrasment on Wednesday when they addressed the batting legend’s wife as “Mr” Anjali in the welcome message on the giant electronic scoreboard. The CAB’s second goof-up came in as many days when the giant display at the High Court end kept on flashing Welcome “Mr Anjali Tendulkar and Master Arjun Tendulkar” during the lunch break.
#ThankYouSachin campaign on Twitter
New Delhi: The BCCI on Wednesday launched a campaign on Twitter in honour of Sachin Tendulkar, which offers fans across India and the world a rare opportunity to receive a personalised picture of the retiring batsman.
