Blades of Glory, a museum dedicated to cricket, would be displaying a few of Sachin’s historic memorabilia starting today. Rohan Pate, museum founder, said, “We certainly want to give a perfect tribute to Sachin, in our way.
The museum is known for displaying all sorts of memorabilia of various cricketers from across the world. We also have Sachin’s exclusive stuff here on display for public. This time, to give him the perfect farewell and involve citizens in it, we have something special.
From this India-West Indies Test match, starting today, we will be adding the master blaster’s jersey he wore during the world cup, plus the jersey he wore when he scored his 50th Test century, his gloves and bat.”
Pate said he was extremely happy and proud of the fact that his museum would be displaying memorabilia autographed by Tendulkar, which were collected painstakingly over the years.
