Revealed: Maha govt's 'signature' gift for Sachin

November 06, 2013 14:59

As Mumbai goes into a tizzy to felicitate India's batting legend Sachin Tendulkar on his retirement at the end of his 200th test match on November 18, the Maharashtra government has also decided to do its bit.

The Maharashtra Cabinet will present him with a special silver trophy bearing the signatures of all the 40 ministers.

Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan told rediff.com that the decision to felicitate Sachin Tendulkar with a special trophy was approved by the state Cabinet. Chavan said the Cabinet had taken a cue from the cricketing world's tradition of presenting autographed bats to winners or retiring players. -- Anita Katyal.
