Master Blaster launches unique interactive tournament at Smaaash, Noida
In the IPL season, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has upped the game a little bit more. On Friday, he arrived in Delhi to launch the ‘Sachin Virat Cricket Carnival’, a unique event that will allow youngsters to play cricket indoors using advanced simulators, at newly opened DLF Mall’s sports and entertainment zone Smaaash.
Though cricket for Sachin has always been about having fun with the ball on the field, in changing times he believes technology should allow every one to participate in the sport. “With the kind of stressful lives we lead, it’s imperative to play sports and relax our minds. This cricket carnival is designed to bring the excitement of real sports into your lives with incredible precision, modern equipment and real life experience. I look forward to this tournament connecting cricket lovers from across the country,” said Tendulkar, the brand ambassador of Smaaash.
Smaaash has elevated the cricket to a completely different level where even the gully cricketers can get the experience of playing at the packed Lord’s stadium and facing legends like Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, Kieron Pollard, Sachin Tendulkar and others.
