Junior Girls Solo Dance: Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar on Friday marked National Sports Day with a heartfelt message celebrating India’s athletes across various disciplines, urging people to embrace fitness and draw inspiration from the nation’s rich sporting diversity.

The legendary batter lauded recent trailblazers, including Divya Deshmukh, the youngest-ever FIDE Women’s World Cup Chess champion, D. Gukesh, the youngest men’s winner of the same title, wrestler Rachana, who clinched gold at the U17 World Championship 2025, and Naisha Mehta, who secured India’s first gold in Junior Girls Solo Dance at the Asian Roller Skating Championship.

“I am proud to celebrate the great strides that India has made in the field of sports on National Sports Day,” Tendulkar posted on X. “Currently, our sporting achievements are not limited to one or two marquee sports, but instead reflect the diversity of our country and the diversity of our people.”
