Cricket’s God of the off-side, Sachin Tendulkar, stepped into Maharashtra politics’ inner sanctum by visiting Deputy CM Eknath Shinde at Nandanvan. With wife Anjali by his side, the legend personally invited Shinde to his son Arjun’s wedding with Sania Chandok.
The conversation spanned critical topics, with Shinde briefing Sachin on state projects. In a gesture of esteem, the Deputy CM draped a shawl over Sachin and offered flowers.
Notably, Sachin has invited top dignitaries like PM Modi, President Murmu, Rahul Gandhi, and Amit Shah. Arjun and Sania’s low-key engagement happened in August, limited to family. Her family’s Grevis Group connection adds business heft.
Arjun represents Goa domestically and joins Lucknow Super Giants via trade for IPL 2026. IPL chances have been scarce—zero last season, one in 2024—but his stats impress: 685 runs and 52 wickets in 24 first-class games, 26 List-A wickets in 24.
This encounter reflects Sachin’s cross-spectrum rapport. With wedding bells nearing, Arjun’s all-round talents could propel him in the IPL, making headlines beyond matrimonial news.
