Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar
Cricket was Sachin’s game and cricket remains to be his passion, while he is a devoted follower of the game. When he looks at the life of a woman in middle age, he remembers the wonder of playing cricket and wants to have the same experience with a young woman.
He reminds us of the legend of his own cricketing days, who was famous for his record batting stats and attitude towards the game. It is only fitting that he is also known for his beautiful, loving persona, which makes him relive the history of his childhood.
