Only for the Master Blaster!

While cricket fanatics hope and pray that Sachin Tendulkar's steller performance will catapult India to bring home the coveted World Cup; something that hasn't happened after Kapil Dev brought it home to us in 1983; there are those who are already planning parties in honour of the cricket legend.

TOI has learnt from reliable sources that Suniel Shetty, who will be anchoring the World Cup matches on a news channel is set to throw a gala private bash in the honour of Sachin. Highly placed sources in the cricket circuit of Mumbai reveal to us saying, "Suniel and Sachin share a good rapport and since this is going to be the last cup that the 37-year-old superstar of cricket will play in, Suniel wanted to do something special to commemorate this landmark year in cricket and for Sachin."

The top informer close to the Mumbai team also reveals, "Dates are being chalked out when this party will take place. While some feel that this should happen before Sachin takes the field as it would mark a grand welcome for him, others feel that it should be post the World Cup as everybody expects India to win and Sachin to shine."

Suniel tells TOI, "It is true that I have been approached by several channels to anchor the World Cup and I shall do it too. About the party, Sachin is like God and I'm a die-hard fan. A celebration is certainly due, but it is too early to talk about it."
