over. And if you succeed you will become a star”. He didn’t say anything to me but the
next over he hit me for three sixes,” he told India Today.

After cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar was not able to deliver his maiden speech in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, the Master Blaster took to social media platform Facebook on Friday with the message of 'transforming India from being a sport loving nation to a sport playing nation'.
In the 15-minute long video, Tendulkar talked about his vision of a healthy and a fit India. He went on to say that being a sportsperson, he would talk about sports, health and fitness, for it has a telling impact on India's economy.

Tendulkar raised the issue of India being the diabetic capital of the world with over 75 million people affected by the disease, and when it comes to obesity India is at number three spot in the world and the economic burden of these diseases will not allow the country to progress.

He emphasised on building a sporting culture in the country, otherwise a young, unfit, unhealthy India will be recipe for disaster. He went on to propose a framework of three 'I' - Invest, Insure and Immortalise. "We must invest our own time and effort and ensure our wellness and each one of
 us must to start adopting one active sport and play regularly," said Tendulkar. "Our citizens and school children should have access to more sports infrastructure. Open spaces and playgrounds should be retained and along with smart cities, we should look at building smart sport cities," he added.
