Sachin Tendulkar reveals why he rejected an ad after Sharjah desert storm, ‘disrespectful’

Sachin Tendulkar had already earned a lot of attention when he made his international debut at the age of 16, but it was his incredible knock in Sharjah in 1998 that launched him to stardom. Sachin said at an event recently that he was offered an advertisement shortly after the Sharjah tour, which he turned down since the script was insulting to cricket. Sachin is the only batter with 100 centuries in international cricket.
