MUMBAI: The Mumbai Cricket Association is coming up with a 'special gift' for cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, who will celebrate his 50th birthday on April 24 this year. In a unique gesture, the MCA will erect a life-size statue of Tendulkar inside the iconic Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.
Tendulkar is likely to visit the Wankhede today to explore, along with the MCA officials, 2-3 sites inside the stadium where his statue can be installed. It was at the Wankhede where the batting great played his final game for India back in November 2013 against West Indies. MCA president Amol Kale told TOI that he's hoping "the statue will be unveiled during the ODI World Cup in India later this year."
