Group Captain Sachin Tendulkar, India’s cricket legend, recently reconnected with the Indian Air Force (IAF) in an event that highlighted his long-standing association with the force. While many associate Tendulkar with his illustrious cricketing career, fewer might recall that he was conferred the honorary rank of Group Captain with the Indian Air Force back in 2010. This title was an acknowledgment of his immense contribution to the world of sports and a symbol of the close ties between India’s sports fraternity and its armed forces.
