Tendulkar, his wife Anjali and daughter Sara visited a MJSports bat manufacturing unit in Charsoo Awantipora and spent nearly an hour at the unit today.

“The visit of Tendular here is going to give a major boost to Kashmir willow bats which are in high demand,” MJ Sports owner Mohammad Shaheen Parrey told UNI .

"The cricket legend had a lot of knowledge about Kashmir cricket bats and had some queries also. He was highly impressed with the quality of our cricket bats," he said.

Tendular stayed for at least an hour at the bat maker unit.
