Fans who watch the India vs. New Zealand cricket Test live online will get a chance to see if the Indian team can put the disappointing series loss behind them and move forward. The team has struggled to find an identity after the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar late last year, turning in disappointing series to South Africa and New Zealand.
While the Indian team struggled in New Zealand, Tendulkar was receiving India’s top civilian honor back home. Indian president Pranab Mukherjee awarded him the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award.
“It’s the biggest honor for me and I am extremely delighted on receiving the Bharat Ratna,” Tendulkar said. “I am extremely proud to be born in this beautiful nation and I would like to express my gratitude to all the love, affection and support I have received for number of years.
