On the Eve of the Sri Lanka Clash, Sachin Tendulkar's Statue Unveiled at Wankhede Stadium
On the eve of the clash between the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team and Kusal Mendis' Sri Lanka on November 2, the iconic Wankhede stadium immortalized the legendary Sachin Tendulkar after unveiling his statue.
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai will turn blue in what will be the pinnacle of an event-wide #BeAChampion campaign that is focused on using the global reach of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup to help build a better world for every child and help create equal opportunities for girls and boys in every sphere.
The match will see fans provided with an LED wristband that will be synced with a stadium-wide blue light show during the second inning. Players from India and Sri Lanka will support the amplification of the One Day 4 Children message alongside other legends of the game, including UNICEF and ICC Ambassadors Sachin Tendulkar and Muttiah Muralitharan.
The contributions raised throughout the campaign will support UNICEF's work for children, which is aimed at ensuring every child gets an equal opportunity. ICC and Global Broadcast Partner Star Sports will ensure the One Day 4 Children experience reaches the audiences around the globe, while various ICC Commercial Partners are supporting the event with in-match donations.
