Sachin Tendulkar has come a long way from that fresh-faced boy who debuted at the age of 16 in Karachi, against the Pakistanis. Now, he is a living legend to whom all of Indian cricket is looking up to. POWER - Twenty years ago, when Sachin Tendulkar entered the imagination of the cricketing world, “Power” the sports goods brand was visible prominently on his bat. The bat brings in some promising memories like his 1st ODI 100 against Australia, his Power Innings of 114 @ Perth , his 82 off 49 studded with seventeen hits to the boundary in Auckland when Sachin opened for the first time and his MoM innings in the 1992 World Cup. Slazenger and BAS : Sachin went on to sport the logos of Slazenger and BAS before MRF. MRF : A few years later he went on to attain legendary status and also drove the “MRF” brand along with him. During the 1996 World Cup, MRF representatives walked into Mascarenhas’room and said they wanted the rights to Tendulkar’s bat. A deal was done in seconds. The “MRF Bat” has been the one he has been using since ages now and it has featured in almost everywhere he has been and done that,from being depicted as a GOD to His Madame Tussauds wax statue and through many Centuries. Adidas - But as the 36-year-old takes fresh guard this season, the red initials of the tyre company will be replaced by global sports goods firm “Adidas”.
