[WATCH]- Sachin Tendulkar And Bill Gates Unite Over Vadapav, Announce Social Initiative Partnership

Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has revealed that his foundation will collaborate with former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates’ foundation for a special social initiative. The announcement of the partnership between the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation and the Gates Foundation comes shortly after a video of Tendulkar and Gates enjoying Vadapav and playing Crennis went viral.

The two global icons relished Mumbai’s iconic street food, Vadapav, before engaging in a friendly game of Crennis—a fusion of Tennis and Cricket. Soon after, their foundations officially declared the partnership, with Sachin, his wife Anjali, and Bill Gates exchanging jerseys.

This collaboration aims to promote the holistic development of children, emphasizing their role as Partners in Progress. Currently on his third visit to India, Gates hinted that this initiative aligns with the 25th anniversary of his foundation.
