Sachin Tendulkar is set to join the league of former cricketers Curtly Ambrose and Brett Lee as the cricketing legend prepares to make his musical debut soon. Tendulkar revealed this exciting news during the launch of his digital application ‘100MB’ on Thursday night.
His partner in this musical venture will be none other than Sonu Nigam. The super pair expected to sing together and the theme of the song is based on cricket. To make the fans more excited, the first lines of the song was sung by Nigam at the event.
“Gend aayi, balla ghuma, mara chaka, Sachin, Sachin… nacho, nacho sab cricket wali beat pe…”
“I have thanked all the cricketers with whom I have played in the six World Cups,” said Tendulkar, while talking about his passion for music. The love for music was always there. Music helped you control your emotions before going to bat, it helped you calm down after the innings. I listen to various types of music,” said Tendulkar speaking at the event.
“I have listened to Spanish songs, even though I wouldn’t understand a word of it, but I listened as I liked the music. I listen to old Hindi songs, new Hindi songs, English songs, rock music, anything which is soothing to the ear.”
Tendulkar, who likes to keep a low profile, also stated that he wasn’t willing to sing but his family and friends convinced him to try his hands.
“They all ganged up and finally got me to sing.”
As revealed by singer Sonu Nigam, Tendulkar found his rhythm quickly despite having never recording before. Nigam says he was surprised him by how effortlessly the cricketer got his pitch right during the recording sessions.
“Singers can’t get their pitch right, to see The Master pitching right in the music was heartening. We didn’t have to use a pitch corrector for Sachin,” said Nigam, sharing the stage with the former India captain.
The song will be played on Sunday at 10 pm on his app – 100 MB.
“I feel the digital platform will show a different side of me, it will be more engaging. Wait and watch there is a surprise for you!”
