India is a nation of cricket fans and when 1.3 billion people have to make a choice about the Best Indian Cricket player, it won’t be easy to name one.

Sachin Tendulkar will be celebrating his birthday on April 24th in South Africa. Here is what ace astro numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi has to predict about his year ahead.

Master-blaster batsman Sachin Tendulkar did not denounce Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) coach John Buchanan's multiple-captain theory in univocal terms but categorically ruled out that there would be such experiment with the Mumbai team.

Speaking on this with the media persons, Tendulkar said, "Let them (KKR) do whatever they want. At Mumbai Indians, we will do what we want."

While launching its new brand campaign, cement maker Jaypee Cement, a wholly owned arm of the Jaypee Group, has appointed master blaster Sachin Tendulkar as its brand ambassador.

Mr. Manoj Gaur, Jaypee Group Executive Chairman, said, “Sachin and Jaypee Cement are a perfect fit as they stand for similar values of inner strength, endurance and ever lasting performance. These value have spurred both to set new benchmarks and made good the dreams and aspirations of all those who believe in Sachin and Jaypee Cement.”
