The love story of Sachin and Anjali is very interesting, both of them first met at Mumbai airport. Their relationship which started with friendship turned into love one day and after dating for 5 years, they got married on May 24, 1995. Let us tell you, Anjali is 6 years older than Sachin, but both of them always say that age is never a barrier in their relationship. Anjali Tendulkar’s mother Annabelle Mehta recently talked about the time when Sachin asked Anjali for her hand in marriage at the age of just 19. I had to look him in the eye and ask him- Annabelle Mehta Anjali’s mother Annabelle Mehta was worried that Sachin Tendulkar might be a playboy like other cricketers, so she had to look Sachin straight in the eye and ask him what he thought about her daughter. According to NDTV, Annabelle Mehta has written in her new memoir ‘My Passage to India.’ I had realised by then that Sachin was the brightest star of Indian cricket, but I was concerned about the possibility of him being a playboy like many of his fellow cricketers. Sachin was like David Beckham in England in the 90s. I had to look him in the eye and ask him how he felt about my daughter. Sachin Tendulkar immediately responded to Annabelle Mehta’s questions by saying that he wanted to marry her daughter. Anjali’s mother also revealed that she was a bit surprised by the answer of 19-year-old Sachin. ‘We want to get married’ were his exact words. I was stunned, I had always imagined Anjali marrying a tall, dark and handsome man. Sachin was dark and handsome, but even at 19 he was still a boy and so short. Anjali was taller than him, being five and a half feet. Sachin’s bouncy hair might give him another inch, but he was not tall enough for Anjali to wear high heels.

“Where is Avesh Khan after all….”- Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra raised questions on Indian management
The team recently went for the T20 World Cup and Avesh Khan was in the reserves. Where is Avesh Khan after that?- Aakash Chopra Avesh Khan and Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian young fast bowler Avesh Khan got a place in the team in the Zimbabwe tour, he also took 6 wickets in three T20 matches. But then he did not get a place in the squad for both the white-ball series of the Sri Lanka tour. Meanwhile, former Indian player Aakash Chopra is venting his anger on the Indian management. Chopra says that if BCCI wants to invest in Avesh Khan, then they will have to give him opportunities. Avesh should have been on the Sri Lanka tour- Aakash Chopra Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra, while talking on his YouTube channel, said, This is a good question because the team recently went for the T20 World Cup and Avesh Khan was in the reserves. Where is Avesh Khan after that? If we want to invest in him then Avesh Khan should have been there. He should have been there on the Sri Lanka tour and should have played matches in Zimbabwe as well, where was he – nowhere to be seen. Prasidh Krishna has the potential to become a good bowler- Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra has expressed his desire to see fast bowler Prasidh Krishna in the T20 format. He also stressed that even though Prasidh Krishna is an expensive bowler, he has the potential to become a great bowler in the T20 format. Let us tell you that Prasidh Krishna was part of the Indian squad in the ODI World Cup 2023. After the tournament, he played a few more matches for India. But he got injured while playing for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy. No information has been revealed about when Prasidh Krishna will be able to return. I personally rate Prasidh Krishna very highly, although his stats in T20s are not very good. He has taken a beating whenever he has played, but I would like to invest. He has the potential to become a very good bowler even at the highest level. So they should start investing in him right now and have a clear roadmap for Avesh Khan as well.
