5 Cricketers who became real-life heroes

2. Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar is without a doubt the best batsman India has produced ever. The man didn’t only break records but created a handful of them during his illustrious career of 24 years. He has scored more than 34,000 international runs and scored 100 international centuries. Breaking these records would be a dream for many.

In fact, there have been many players in the Indian cricket who have said that they took up the sport after watching the little master bat. However, away from the field, Tendulkar has quite a lavish life. He is one of the richest cricketers in the country, but he has also done his share of work for society. The former Indian batsman contributes a lot of money to various charities.

Recently, Sachin contributed INR 25 Lakhs to the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM CARES Fund) and Maharashtra Chief Minister’s relief fund to fight against the COVID-19 crisis. Other than this, the man had also pledged to take care of the ration requirements of 5000 people for a month during this crisis.
