During the inauguration event of the newly constructed Mandesi Sports Complex in Mhaswad, former legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and his daughter Sara Tendulkar were seen engaging in a fun tug-of-war with local school children on Tuesday, December 10.
A video of the duo playing a rope game went viral on social media, and Netzines predicted who would win the tug-of-war game. In the video, Sachin and Sara are seen wearing casual black clothing, pulling rope in an open field with schoolchildren wearing uniforms.
The video is said to be from Mhaswad in Satara, an event organised by the Man Deshi Foundation to promote sports and community engagement among youth. Sachin Tendulkar, along with his family, visited Satara to inaugurate the modern stadium at the Mandesi Sports Complex, where he interacted with young athletes and encouraged them to pursue their sporting dreams.

Accompanied by his wife, Anjali, and daughter Sara, Sachin expressed his commitment to fostering sportsmanship and development in the region. Chetna Sinha, Founder President of the Man Deshi Foundation, along with other dignitaries, including Prabhat Sinha and District Superintendent of Police Sameer Shaikh, were present to witness the event.
Recently, Sara Tendulkar has taken on a significant role as Director of the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation. With a master's degree in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition from University College London, she aims to strengthen initiatives focused on sports, healthcare, and education for underprivileged communities.
Sara Tendulkar shared pictures on Instagram two days after her family Satara visited Mann Deshi for an inaugural event. In a caption, Sara said, "Visiting our STF partners always fills us with joy as we witness dreams taking shape. Our day at Mann Deshi was nothing short of inspiring... From inaugurating our new sports facility to witnessing the incredible energy of young athletes to awarding medals, it was a day filled with hope and progress."
"It was inspiring to see the confidence that sport instills in every child. Watching boys and girls compete equally in kabaddi, running, swimming, wrestling and boxing perfectly embodied our vision of empowerment. These moments remind us of the immense potential in every child to break barriers and achieve greatness," her caption reads.
"Meeting the alumni of @manndeshichampions who have gone on to excel in sports, serve in the army, or join the police only reinforced our belief that sports, health and education truly pave the way for brighter futures," she wrote.
