After so many controversies on the selection of Goodwill Ambassador for RIO Olympics 2016, now the management has made some sensible decisions. Last week, Indian Olympic Association approached cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar and Music Composer A.R Rehman for being India’s goodwill ambassadors for the Summer Games in Rio.
After being approached, the God of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar has accepted the request to become goodwill ambassador of Indian contingent at the Olympics. However, AR Rahman is yet to confirm.
Sachin is now the third Goodwill ambassador after ace shooter Abhinav Bindra and
actor Salman Khan.
Here are reactions of the people tweeting on Sachin’s appointment as Goodwill Ambassador :
