A 15-seater and 20-seater air-conditioned corporate box would cost Rs five and seven lakh respectively. The source said that president Sharad Pawar is keen to name the newly-opened Kandivli clubhouse after Tendulkar.
He has also decided to give a painting of Tendulkar to the iconic batsman. “He will ask the batting maestro to select the painting.
He already has so many mementos, so that is why it was decided to give a painting which will be unique,” the source said. Pawar will address the media today to throw more light on MCA’s preparation for Tendulkar’s farewell Test.u00a0
