Hyderabad, Aug 22: India batting great Sachin Tendulkar will be presenting a BMW car to star shuttler PV Sindhu for bringing laurels to the country by winning a silver medal at the Rio Olympics. The BMW car is being sponsored by Tendulkar’s close friend and president of Hyderabad Badminton Association of India V Chamundeswaranath. “Sindhu will be gifted a BMW car by Mr Chamudeswaranath and his friends. Mr Sachin Tendulkar will be presenting the car to Sindhu,” said Punnaiah Choudary, BAI Secretary (Tournaments), who had accompanied the team in Rio. Four years ago, Tendulkar had present a BMW to ace shuttler Saina Nehwal, who had returned with a bronze medal at the London Olympics.
Tendulkar had also presented a Maruti Swift to Sindhu, who had won the girls’ singles title in the Asian Youth Under-19 Championship in 2012. Tendulkar was religiously following the final match between PV Sindhu and Carolina Marin from Spain on Friday. He tweeted on every update of the game through his social media account. He was the brand ambassador of the Olympics this year and was present with the Indian contingent during the initial phase of the event.
On Sunday, Tendulkar showed his presence for IDBI Federal Life Insurance Half Marathon in Mumbai. He stressed upon leading a healthy lifestyle, saying fit citizens make a robust country. He was speaking after flagging off the marathon from South Mumbai at 5:45am. The right-handed batsman also flagged off the 10 Kilometers thousand Timed Run and 5 Kilometers Heritage Run after the half marathon.
