T20 World Cup 2024: Will Sachin Tendulkar attend IND vs PAK match? Here's what we know

Sachin Tendulkar, Indian cricketing legend and Bharat Ratna recipient, is expected to attend the much-awaited India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 clash. The India vs Pakistan match will be held in New York on June 4. If all goes well, Tendulkar will be in attendance at the Nassau County ground in New York to cheer for the Men in Blue, news agency PTI reported citing sources.

It, however, is unknown that whether he will meet the players before the game or not. "It is still not known if he would meet prior to the game or not but his mere presence in the stands will certainly be a morale booster for Rohit Sharma and his men in what will be the most important group league assignment," a source within the ICC was quoted as saying. 

He is also associated with a brand that is one of the key sponsors of the International Cricket Council (ICC). He has also been a brand ambassador of the ICC during the 2015 ODI World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
