Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday visited bat manufacturing units in south Kashmir, signifying a milestone for the industry. He is the first top cricketer in the world to visit such units in Kashmir Valley. Tendulkar was seen examining bats of various sizes during his visit. He also interacted with workers at these units.

Accompanied by his wife Anjali and daughter Sara, Tendulkar visited the MJ Sports bat manufacturing unit in Charsoo Awantipora and remained for nearly an hour at the facility.
