Sachin gifts 2003 WC t-shirt to Narendra Modi for charity


Cricket maestro Sachin Tendulkar has donated his 2003 Cricket World Cup jersey to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, which would be auctioned to raise funds for the state's 'Save the Girl Child' programme.

The blue jersey, with Tendulkar's name and number '10' written on it, was handed over to Modi yesterday by Atul Bedade, former cricket player and Sachin's close friend.

"Sachin has given his t-shirt from the 2003 World Cup to be used for charity," Bedade told PTI.
