Hyderabad based fan meets the little master

Shashank Bhavaraju from Hyderabad received the opportunity of a lifetime when e-commerce portal Flipkart gave him a chance to meet his all-time hero Sachin Tendulkar.

Shashank is one of the lucky winners of ‘Sachin Stat-Trick contest’ conducted by Flipkart prior to the November 6 launch of ‘Playing It My Way’- the autobiography of master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

Shashank was part of the select team that got to be a part of the official book launch in Mumbai where he witnessed cricketing personalities talk about Sachin and also got the incredible opportunity to get a photograph clicked with Tendulkar himself.

Elated after meeting the legend, Shashank Bhavaraju, said, “This is a dream I am yet to recover from. The very fact that it's a Sachin book launch makes it very special. Receiving an autographed copy is like making it all the more special. I could not have thought of something like this. I will treasure the book and this experience all my life.”

Commenting on this contest, Gaurav Gupta, director – retail (books) at Flipkart, said, “’Playing it my way’ has been one of the most anticipated book this year and it gives us immense pleasure to be able to make this book available for pre-order and sale for our customers. The ‘Sachin Stat-Trick contest’ was focused towards heightening the excitement around this launch and engaging with the true fans of Sachin.”
