What is Sara Tendulkar's connection with this cricket tournament between India and Pakistan!
Currently, India and Pakistan are face to face regarding the Champions Trophy 2025. All kinds of statements are being heard. But, do you know that Sachin Tendulkar's daughter Sara Tendulkar has a deep connection with a cricket tournament between India and Pakistan? You will say how is this possible? This question is natural. But, what we are saying is also a reality. There is indeed a big connection between Sachin Tendulkar's daughter and that tournament between India and Pakistan.
Let us tell you which is that cricket tournament between India and Pakistan? And how did Sachin's daughter Sara's name get associated with it? We are talking about the Sahara Cup, which India won in 1997 under the captaincy of Sachin Tendulkar. It was a 5 ODI series, in which India defeated Pakistan 4-1 under Sachin's leadership. Now you will say what does Sara have to do with this? Sara was not even born then.
Sachin named his daughter Sara on the lines of Sahara Cup
So let us tell you when and how the connection was made? It happened that under the captaincy of Sachin, India won the Sahara Cup by defeating Pakistan in September 1997. After that great victory, Sara was born in October 1997. Now when it was time to name her after her birth, Sachin Tendulkar named her after the tournament Sahara Cup won under his captaincy. And, because of this, Sara Tendulkar's connection with that tournament got established.
However, not just that tournament, even any bilateral series between India and Pakistan is closed. It has been ages since the Indian team visited Pakistan. Now there is a ruckus about the Champions Trophy too, because India has refused to go to Pakistan. Pakistan is the host country of Champions Trophy 2025.
