Sachin Tendulkar bats for sports on social media

New Delhi, Dec 22 (CRICKETNMORE) - A day after being forced to leave the Rajya Sabha without making his debut speech, batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar on Friday took to social media to speak on the overall environment of sports in

"Daughters of India have shown what they are capable of with champions like Sindhu, Sakshi, Saina, Sania (Mirza), Mithali and the list goes on and on. When dreams don't discriminate then why do we? 

"I want to appreciate their parents, family members, their coaches, their friends for helping and encouraging them and that is the only reason they have reached here. 

"My message to parents is to give equal support and encouragement to their daughters and sons and they will make them proud," the little master said.

"Before the Olympics or a major sporting event, our expectations go sky-rocketing. I realise that things are changing for the good and that we have adopted long term approach on preparation," he added.

Earlier, on Thursday, Tendulkar was supposed to speak on 'Right to Play and the Future of Sports in India' in the Upper House but he wasn't able to as the house was adjourned after Congress members disrupted proceedings over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remark against his predecessor Manmohan Singh and the 2G scam.
