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? So it is natural for you to be surprised. But, what we are saying is also the reality. There is really a big connection between Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter and that tournament between India and Pakistan.
How is Sara Tendulkar’s connection with Sahara Cup?
Let us tell you which cricket tournament is between India and Pakistan? And how was Sachin’s daughter Sara’s name connected with him? We are talking about the Sahara Cup, which was won by India in 1997 under the captaincy of Sachin Tendulkar. That was a 5-ODI series, in which India, under the leadership of Sachin, defeated Pakistan 4-1. Now you will say that what does Sara have to do with this happening? 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 established? What happened was that under the command of Captain Sachin, India won the Sahara Cup by defeating Pakistan in September 1997. After that spectacular victory, Sara was born in October 1997. Now when it came to naming him after birth, Sachin Tendulkar named him inspired by the Sahara Cup tournament he won under his captaincy. And, because of this, Sara Tendulkar’s connection with that tournament came into existence.
Now such tournaments are not held in India and Pakistan
However, now what about that tournament, any bilateral series between India and Pakistan is also closed. It has been a long time since the Indian team toured Pakistan. Right now there is an uproar regarding the Champions Trophy because India has refused to go to Pakistan. Pakistan is the host country of Champions Trophy 2025.
