CHIRU-ALLU ARVIND EVINCE INTEREST

New Delhi: Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday said that "a piece of my heart will always beat" for Kerala Blasters, after selling off his stakes in the franchise before the start of the new Indian Super League football season.

Tendulkar has always been an integral part of the Blasters set-up and was often seen cheering the team from the stands in home and away games. 
"In its fifth year, it is important that the club puts the building blocks for the next five years and beyond. It is also a time for me to reflect on the role that I should play. 

After reflecting and much discussion with my team, I have decided to exit my association with Kerala Blasters as a co-promoter," he said in a statement.

"I strongly believe that Kerala Blasters is in very good shape and on its path to attain many more successes with the backing of its fans offering unconditional support. 

I am very proud of Kerala Blasters and a piece of my heart will always beat for the club," he said.
