Sachin Tendulkar Inaugurates Board Room Named After Him At BCCI Headquarters
Last Updated: Sachin Tendulkar inaugurated 'SRT 100' board room at BCCI HQ in Mumbai, reminiscing fond memories. Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar earlier this month inaugurated a board room named after him, 'SRT 100', at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai, a video of which was posted by the board on its social media handles on Saturday, May 17, where Tendulkar was seen reminiscing about some of his fondest memories. The batting legend is regarded as one of the best batters to have graced not just Indian cricket but world cricket as well. Besides Tendulkar, a room named after Sunil Gavaskar was also inaugurated on the day. Watch the video here: 'Bang opposite the Cricket Club of India, a small room was there, and I still remember visiting that place, which was the BCCI office back in 1989, when I went on my first tour of Pakistan. From there to this place, it's a remarkable transformation," Tendulkar said while speaking at the get-together. 'What makes the place even more special is these priceless trophies. It's a reflection of what the office bearers of the BCCI and the players have been able to plan and execute in helping the country to achieve this. So these are priceless moments," Tendulkar added, while looking at the ICC trophies that India have won. advetisement The room of the batting legend's name has been coined SRT 100, which means Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, with 100 signifying his 100 international centuries, a world record. Meanwhile, if there was one cricketer who was considered worthy of bettering Tendulkar's record of 100 international centuries, it was ace batter Virat Kohli. When the batting legend was asked in an award ceremony after hitting his 100th hundred, who could break his record, he took two names: Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Within a week, both Rohit and Kohli retired from Tests. The latter, who quit the Test arena on Monday, is still 18 centuries away from equalling the incredible milestone and now has just one format to play, maybe for a maximum of two years. In an age when the relevance of the 50-over format is a continuous debate, hitting 19 centuries in ODIs is a humongous task. Watch CNN-News18 here.
