CNN-IBN initiative: Sachin's autographed bats up for charity

As Sachin Tendulkar marks 20 incredible years in cricket, he is once again batting for his fans.

To commemorate the cricketer’s 20 years in a special CNN-IBN initiative 20 bats personally autographed by Sachin have been put on auction for charity.

“We are honoured and delighted that Sachin is doing this for charity. I just had to call him once and he spontaneously agreed which is typical of the man whose heart is bigger than even his bat,” says CNN-IBN Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai.

Sachin himself has been involved in a lot of charity work, in particular with Apnalaya, an NGO that works with Mumbai’s streetchildren.
