MUMBAI: The Mumbai Cricket Association will inaugurate cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar's life-size statue, besides the Sachin Tendulkar Stand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai by organizing a function on November 1, a day before the 2023 ODI World Cup match between India and Sri Lanka at the venue.
"Tendulkar's statue will be erected on November 1. The inauguration of Tendulkar's statue will be attended by Team India. Of course, Tendulkar will himself be present on the special occasion.
