"It's because of Sachin I started taking interest in the game and finally fell in love with cricket," said Amrita Rao. Shilpa Shetty, who is also an owner of Rajasthan Royals, also wished him the very best.

"Sachin was born to play cricket," Chennai Super Kings skipper M S Dhoni reportedly said.

Fans would be hoping that Tendulkar is declared fit to play in Sunday's final.
