As the sportsman turns 53, let’s take a look at the immense social impact he has created through his foundation, his social work, influence, humility, and philanthropy.
Not just standing up and representing cricket, the former cricketer, Tendulkar, has consistently used his platform for meaningful causes. As a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha, Sachin has stood with several initiatives promoting education, healthcare, and sports development.
