Onam 2020: Chronicling Sachin Tendulkar’s special connection with Kerala

While Sachin Tendulkar is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time, the ‘God of Cricket’ was also a handy right-arm spinner during his playing days. Moreover, he has taken more five-wicket hauls in ODIs than the spin wizard Shane Warne himself. While Tendulkar has taken two five-wicket hauls in 50-overs internationals, interestingly, both of his five-fors occurred at the same venue, i.e. the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi, Kerala.

The first of his fifers came against Australia in 1998. He took 5-32 in the match, which remained his best ODI bowling figures until his retirement. Sachin Tendulkar then took another fifer against Pakistan (5-50) some seven years later at the venue.

Apart from the Sachin Tendulkar wickets connection with Kerala, the 2011 World Cup winner was also one of the co-owners of a popular Indian Super League (ISL) franchise Kerala Blasters Football Club. In April 2014, the 200-Test veteran won the rights of the football club. Moreover, the name ‘Kerala Blasters’ was also derived from Sachin Tendulkar’s moniker ‘Master Blaster’ itself. The legendary batsman remained associated with the franchise till September 2018.

According to multiple Indian reports, it is also believed that Tendulkar owns 'Blue Waters Villa', a waterfront villa in the outskirts of Kochi, having bought the property in 2015 as a vacation home.
