Mumbai (PTI): In his own words, life has come full circle for Sachin Tendulkar, who is set to be honoured with a life-size statue at the Wankhede Stadium, the place where it all began for him. The cricket icon’s journey started here under childhood coach Ramakant Achrekar, and it was at this very venue that he won the World Cup with India in 2011. He also bid adieu to cricket at the same ground, by playing in his landmark 200th Test against the West Indies in 2013. The statue is expected to be unveiled when he turns 50 on April 24.

“I started my cricketing journey representing Mumbai. India winning the World Cup in 2011 remains the biggest moment in my life. My last match representing India was very memorable, and that happened in Mumbai as well,” Tendulkar said.

“Life has come full circle for me at Wankhede, which has been witness to some very special moments. When the Mum- bai Cricket Association suggested my statue at Wankhede, I was pleasantly surprised.

“I’ve always taken a lot of pride in representing Mumbai cricket, and my wonderful association with the MCA continues today as well. I’m very grateful to them for this kind gesture,” he added.

The announcement was earlier done by Mumbai Cricket Association president Amol Kale on the sidelines of Tendulkar’s visit to the Wankhede on Tuesday.

If you want to make a dramatic statement by mixing and matching different bright colours, the colour combinations must be perfect. Combining green and pink, pink and orange, pink and blue, or yellow and blue is a good idea. You must select the proper bright colours to complement your skin tone. This season, combining neon with print is popular. Polka dots, animal prints, and checks look great with neons. Having two dominant aspects in your clothing will actually balance everything out.

If you want to experiment with neons but prefer a more subtle aesthetic, we recommend starting with one bright outfit. Pair your outfit with neutrals like denim, black, or white.
