Couple overjoyed as Sachin Tendulkar drops in for tea

Tirupati: For Vijaylakshmi and Gopalaiah of Puttamrajuvari Kandriga village, it was a dream come true as cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar on Wednesday visited their house near Gudalur, 110 km from here.

The couple, in their fifties, was overjoyed as the batting legend arrived at their house to have a cup of tea as promised by him during his earlier visit to the village in 2014.

Tendulkar also blessed their newly wed son and daughter-in-law during his brief stay there.

Tendulkar visited the village, which he had adopted in 2014, to inaugurate projects worth Rs six crore.

This is his second visit to the village with a population of just 600.
