Former Legendary Indian Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar‘s morphed photographs were used to advertise a casino called ‘Big Daddy’ in Goa, and the former Indian skipper recently stated that he will proceed with legal action for the misuse. Tendulkar has been a tremendous asset to Indian cricket for 24 years, having made his debut at the age of 16, and he still owns the majority of the achievements and records under his belt.
Tendulkar served India in 200 Tests, 463 ODIs, and 1 T20I, amassing over 34,000 international runs across all formats and being the first man in history to record 100 international hundreds.
Sachin to take legal action on the casino for using his morphed images:
Tendulkar, who announced his retirement in 2013, has been sought after as a mentor for the IPL’s Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise and there have been findings that the BCCI is considering bringing him into an authoritative role in the growth of Indian cricket, similar to his former teammates Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, and VVS Laxman.
Tendulkar acknowledged to his fans on media platforms that his legal representatives will be getting ready to take action versus the Casino and that he has nothing to do with tobacco, gambling, or alcohol. He voiced his sadness at seeing his photographs utilized wrongly to harm others.
“Requesting everyone to remain vigilant about misleading images on social media,” Tendulkar captioned. “While my legal team will be taking the required action, I felt it was important for me to share this information with everyone.”
“It has come to my notice that there are multiple ads being shown on social media platforms, with a morphed photo showing me endorsing a casino.”
“I have never endorsed gambling, tobacco, or alcohol – directly or indirectly, in an individual capacity. It pains to see that my images are being used to mislead people,” Tendulkar’s tweet read.
Tendulkar has a large following in India and has been considered one of the finest hitters in cricket history. The 48-year-old was the 1st cricketer to reach a double century in one-day internationals.
