Kochi: The excitement was the same for fans of Sachin Tendulkar when they saw their cricketing icon in a different role Thursday night, cheering Kerala Blasters FC, the ISL franchise that he co-owns.

The biggest cheer came when, wearing the team jersey, he walked to the middle of the ground at the half time along with Nita Ambani with his autobiography 'Playing it My Way'. His autobiography was released by Chandy.
