We all know that every batsman’s best friend is his cricket bat. Which is why cricketers all around the world have always been grateful to the people who fix these precious bats. Since without a proper cricket bat, the batsman wouldn’t have been able to score runs and create glorious records.
Recently, Sachin Tendulkar has come in aid of a bat maker who once used to fix his bats during his India days. A bat maker Ashraf Chaudhary was in a financial crisis since his business suffered a huge loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since cricket had come on a standstill, Ashraf’s business was basically shut since no one got their bats fixed. He was further hospitalised and desperately needed financial help.
