Soon after Sachin Tendulkar released his maiden single, titled Cricket Wali Beat, his long-time opening partner Sourav Ganguly tweeted on Monday congratulating him on his singing debut.
Tendulkar, who’s known to love music, featured in a video premiered during the grand finale of the reality show 'Indian Idol 9' on Sunday night, where the iconic cricketer was the celebrity guest.
Sonu Nigam, who has also lent his vocals to the song, said about Tendulkar:
He is a very good singer. We did not use a pitch corrector on his voice as he was singing in the right sur (tone) and (despite being) the shy person that he is, he got extremely comfortable the moment I kind of increased the masti (fun) quotient while we were shooting the video.Sonu Nigam
The song is yet to be released in its entirety on social media and is only available on Tendulkar's new app, which will give fans access to all the information on the legend.
