Hyderabad: Cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar gave
away a brand new BMW car to India's most successful shuttler Saina
Nehwal at a function here Sunday night.
The batting maestro, who arrived here along with rest of the team
to play the first test against New Zealand starting here Aug 23,
gave away the car to Saina, who won a bronze medal in the London
Olympics.
The car was presented by Sachin's close friend and former Andhra
Ranji captain V. Chamundeswaranath to Saina, who became the first
ever Indian badminton player to win an Olympic medal.
Sachin also gave away Maruti Swift car to young shuttler Pusarla
Venkata Sindhu, who won the girls' singles title in the Asian
Youth Under-19 Championships last month. She is also the first
Indian to achieve this feat.
"I am very happy to receive the second car from the god of
cricket," said Saina, who was accompanied by her coach Pullela
Gopichand.
"I am glad to congratulate Saina and Gopi. This medal means a lot
for India and it has not come without hard work, dedication, focus
and vision. I congratulate you for making us all feel proud," said
Sachin while congratulating other medal winners at London
Olympics.
The cars were given away at glittering function attended by
sportspersons, film stars and other eminent personalities from
various walks of life.
