Sachin Tendulkar would be a rare exception in the world of Madam Tussauds, London as he is not going to London to get his wax image launched in the world famous museum. He is also the first sports person who is entering into the haloed portals of the Tussauds. Another first that is being achieved is that it would happen for the first time that a Madam Tussauds figure would be launched overseas. The wax image would be unveiled by Sachin Tendulkar in Mumbai on April 13. The wax image of Sachin Tendulkar took three months to attain the shape and it is adorned in a white cricket jersey donated by Sachin Tendulkar.
Sachin would not have been in a position to go to London to do the honors as he is busy preparing to leave for South Africa to lead his team - Mumbai Indians for the second season of the
Indian Premier League. Sachin Tendulkar would indeed be on the ninth heaven as he is the first sportsperson who has been given this exalted status. It in a way is also affirming of the view that Sir Richard Hadlee had made about Sachin in New Zeeland. Sir Hadlee had said that Sachin is indeed the most legendary cricketer that cricket he has seen and is indeed much greater than Don Bradman as he
has excelled in all the forms of game be it in the test matches, one-day matches or the 20-20 matches.
This would be a new high with which Sachin Tendulkar would begin his campaign in the second season of the IPL and his team would also be there to back him up, as he is the only player in the
IPL who has been accorded with the rare distinction of a replica in wax at Tussauds. It also provides a new marketing opportunity to the marketing professionals associated with the Mumbai Indians to market their captain and their team in a different manner.
