Former England tweaker Graeme Swann, who considers cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar as the "best player of his generation", on Tuesday picked the Indian batting maestro in his All-time XI. Swann's dream team has only one current player in English pacer James Anderson, whom he has included as the 12th man.

The team includes four Australians (Don Bradman, Adam Gilchrist, Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne), three Englishmen (Jack Hobbs, Swann, James Anderson), three West Indians (Gordon Greenidge, Garfield Sobers, Brian Lara) and one each from India (Tendulkar) and Pakistan (Wasim Akram).

Indian cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag led Twitterites in wishing Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli, who turned 28 on Saturday.

Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday appealed to the people in Bengaluru to pledge for a 'Swasth Bharath' (Healthy India) as physical fitness and well-being are key to nation-building.

"Medical issues are not restricted to sportspersons and I can tell you from experience that it is the quality of care which heals," said the 43-year-old batting maestro after unveiling Aster CMI Hospital, a quaternary super-specialty healthcare facility in this tech hub.

Donja, around 95 kms from here, is a typical Indian village - old houses, no pucca roads, overflowing gutters, a ramshackle school and primary health care centre, water shortages and joblessness among the people.

However, suddenly the village has shot into national limelight after cricket icon and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament (MP), Sachin Tendulkar zeroed in on it for development under 'Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana' (SAGY).

Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar on Tuesday launched his menswear brand True Blue on leading e-tailer Flipkart's fashion and lifestyle products' subsidiary Myntra. He is excited about the virtual step of the brand.

“True Blue embodies my identity and corresponds to the way I look at fashion. I believe in fashion that endows personal comfort, reflecting an individual's style and not just a form of demonstration," Tendulkar said in a statement.

India's Goodwill Ambassador for the Rio Olympics and cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar on Wednesday stated that the Summer Games are the toughest battle ground for any sportsperson and representing a nation is not a joke.

Legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar on Monday congratulated the Indian cricket team for its thumping win over the West Indies by an innings and 92 runs in the first Test match of the four-match cricket series in Antigua. The former captain especially congratulated India skipper Virat Kohli, head coach Anil Kumble and seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.

Ashwin starred with the ball claiming an impressive seven-wicket haul to dismantle the host's batting line-up on Sunday. This was India's biggest margin of victory outside the sub-continent.
