Mumbai Mayor Mahadev Deole sprang a pleasant surprise on superstar Sachin Tendulkar on Friday when he called on the batting maestro at his residence.
The Mayor made this special gesture to congratulate the Master Blaster him for doing the country proud by winning the ‘player-of-the-tournament’ award in the just-concluded World Cup.
