Sara Tendulkar’s emotional tribute to cricket wins hearts
Taking to Instagram earlier this week, Sara shared a touching reflection on her lifelong relationship with cricket. “Cricket has always been more than just a sport in our home, it’s been a way of life,” she wrote, adding, “Over the years, I’ve quietly carried that love with me…And today, I’m beyond proud and excited to announce my association with the Mumbai Grizzlies as an owner. It’s a new role, a new chapter, but the same love for the game. Let’s make this journey unforgettable.”
The post, which swiftly garnered over a million likes and thousands of supportive comments, resonated widely among fans and cricket enthusiasts who have long admired the Tendulkar family’s enduring connection with the sport.
Sara’s emotional post comes at a transformative moment in her own journey with cricket. Earlier this month, she made headlines by becoming the owner of the Mumbai franchise in the Global e-Cricket Premier League (GEPL), the world’s largest e-cricket and entertainment league.
In her post, Sara highlighted the deep influence of cricket on her upbringing and the thrill of now exploring its potential in the digital arena. “Cricket has been an integral part of our family. Exploring its potential in e-sports is thrilling,” she captioned her post.
This isn’t the first time Sara has used social media to provide a glimpse into her family’s close-knit bond and cricketing heritage. From sharing nostalgic photos to celebrating her brother Arjun Tendulkar’s achievements, Sara has steadily built a loyal following who appreciate both her authenticity and her connection to India’s most iconic cricketing family.
