MUMBAI: Injuries may have plagued him in the past, but 33-year-old Sachin Tendulkar continues to defy age and look as energetic, fit and youthful as he did as a 16-year-old when he made his international debut, seventeen years ago, in Pakistan.
The memories of that day are still fresh to many. Apart from reasons of the batting prowess that he demonstrated on that day, Sachin's boyish looks linger on. Cricket commentator and TV personality Charu Sharma remarked, "Except for the fact that his thick mop of curly hair is somewhat reduced now, not much has changed about Sachin. He is still the young looking Sachin I saw as a young boy, making his debut in Test cricket, on November 15, 1989 in Pakistan." He asked, "What's the secret to his health?"
Sachin, in his inimitable style, replied, "Eat right to maintain the energy levels and as a sportsman I have been able to follow a good diet and exercise regime."
Sachin was speaking at a press conference on Friday, in Mumbai, announcing his partnership with ITC Foods Sunfeast to market biscuits and energy food under his own brand name. "I am no expert on health issues but I have joined hands with Sunfeast to co-create the products based on my 17 years of experience and knowledge as a sportsman," said the man who is often lauded as the greatest batsman after Australia's Sir Donald Bradman.
