Growing up, Sara Tendulkar saw from close quarters what it meant to excel in sport. The pressure of expectations and the need to perform could get to even the best players. Being the daughter of Sachin Tendulkar , Sara grew up around sport her whole life, but nothing quite prepared her for this kind of nervousness. Now in her second season as owner of the Mumbai Grizzlies, Sara thought she’d have her nerves under control by finals day. She didn’t. “I try to remain as calm as possible.
Because i was so nervous,” she admitted, a refreshingly candid confession that says a lot about how deep her investment in the team runs, i don’t know if you saw, but I was pulling at the skin around my nails.
Key Factors
The final doubled as a family affair, with three generations, Sara, her mother Anjali Tendulkar, and her grandmother, courtside to watch the Grizzlies battle it out live.
What It Means
In her second season as an owner, Sara Tendulkar is proving that whether it’s on the pitch or on a screen, the Tendulkar name still means showing up fully invested. Her team, the Mumbai Grizzlies, competed in the Global e-Cricket Premier League (GEPL) Season 3 final this past weekend.
