A 16-year-old Tendulkar came wearing lipstick. The bunch of gifts for the batting maestro included a salver, a champagne bottle, a book on Nelson Mandela, another book on South African wildlife, two vuvuzelas and a Jabulani ball used in the last football World Cup. "My son Arjun will love this ball," he said as he thanked the cricket writers for honouring him.</p>
