Sachin Tendulkar was honoured with BCCI’s CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award during the Naman Awards.
During the annual Naman Awards, Sachin Tendulkar was honoured with BCCI’s CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award. The Master Blaster enthralled the cricket-loving country for more than three decades, and there is no record that Sachin did not make his. During his acceptance speech, the 51-year-old opened up on his farewell and how the then captain, MS Dhoni, decided to do something special for him.
Sachin was honoured with the BCCI’s Lifetime Achievement Award by International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman Jay Shah during the Naman Awards in Mumbai. With 664 international appearances for India, Tendulkar remains the highest run-scorer in both Test and ODI history.
For the uninitiated, Sachin Tendulkar played his last international match for India in November 2013 against the West Indies on his home turf — Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.Sachin Tendulkar’s last match for India was a tear-jerker for every cricket fan, and when the Master gave his speech, no one could stop their emotions from going overboard.”I’m speechless when it comes to those moments; those moments are never planned. I think it’s a story written from above. Honestly, when I look back, I really find it difficult to believe that all these things have happened in my life. I consider myself extremely lucky, and that last moment when the whole team was planning to do something for me and celebrate the ninth wicket, we celebrated that,” said Sachin Tendulkar during his acceptance speech.
