Tendulkar to open 'sports cafe'

October 16, 2004 17:40 IST

Master cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is all set to expand his restaurant business with another venture -- a 'sport's café' named Sachin's.

The ace batsman, who owns a restaurant in South Mumbai, a stone's throw away from the Gateway of India and named Tendulkar's, said he was launching the new cafe in the suburb of Mulund in North Mumbai.

The launch is slated for October 19 and the invite for the function describes the cafe as 'a place where even the food scores.'

Asked whether he would be present for the launch, the ace batsman said: "Positively."

Tendulkar has missed cricket action for the last two months because of an elbow injury.

He underwent a shock therapy in London when the Indian team was there for the NatWest Challenge Series against England last month and has been following a rehabilitation programme since then.
