Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar is widely regarded as the God of Cricket. His contribution to the sport is unprecedented and his popularity throughout the nation is something that sets him apart from other star players. Statistically, there is no other batsman in the world who can be compared to the little-master.
Tendulkar has played cricket at the best level on the international stage for a very long time. He was the only man who had the power to stop the entire nation and watch him destroy any opposition in world cricket. He is also among the Indian cricketers who married a common woman.
For Sachin and Anjali, it was love at first sight. The two of them first met at the Mumbai International Airport. Sachin was returning from his first international cricket tour in 1990 while Anjali was at the airport to receive her mother. They both took an instant liking to each other on the first time they met. Later, the two met at a common friend’s place and got to know each other better.
Anjali, daughter of the well-known industrialist, Ashok Mehta, got married to Sachin Tendulkar on May 24, 1995, after a five-year-long period of dating each other. Anjali Tendulkar is six years older than Sachin Tendulkar. But, the couple maintains that this age gap has never been a matter of concern in their relationship and instead, has made them more committed and understanding towards each other.
