In response to a special request from Merlin Entertainments’ Madame Tussauds New York, Sachin Tendulkar, a cricketing legend, happily cooperated to create an unforgettable moment for his fans. To celebrate the arrival of his wax figure in NYC, the cricket icon met his globally renowned touring wax figure just before the exciting ICC Men’s T20 World Cup India vs. Pakistan match on June 9 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Fans were thrilled as Tendulkar stood side-by-side with his finely crafted wax figure, which first appeared in 2014.
Symbolizing his enduring impact on the sport and its fans worldwide, Tendulkar’s illustrious career has been recognized by the world’s greatest wax museum more than once, dating back to his first figure at Madame Tussauds London in 2009. Since then, five more figures have been created in his honor. Tendulkar, affectionately dubbed the “Master Blaster,” has won over cricket aficionados globally with his unparalleled prowess and sportsmanship and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket. With an international career spanning over two decades, Tendulkar holds numerous records, including the most runs scored in both Test and One Day International (ODI) cricket. He is also the only player to have scored one hundred international centuries, making him a true icon of the sport. Throughout his illustrious career, Tendulkar has garnered immense respect and admiration from fans and fellow cricketers alike, cementing his legacy as a true cricketing legend.
Starting from Monday, June 10, until the World Cup Finals on Saturday, June 29, visitors can freely interact with and take photos with Tendulkar’s wax figure in the lobby of Madame Tussauds New York. Afterward, the figure will be permanently displayed in the museum among wax figures of other sports legends.
