A Unique Partnership Rooted in Social Change
The collaboration caught the public’s attention after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hinted at a potential Tendulkar-Gates project. What started as speculation about a possible tech-related venture turned out to be a philanthropic mission.
The duo even introduced a fun hybrid sport called ‘Crennis’—a mix of cricket and tennis—in a lighthearted promotional video. In the clip:
- Gates appears confused about the game, saying, “I thought we were playing tennis.”
- Tendulkar corrects him, replying, “Bill, I said Crennis! A little bit of cricket and a little bit of tennis.”
- The video ends with Gates suggesting, “Call it even?” and Tendulkar agreeing, “Done.”
Tendulkar later tweeted:
“Sport teaches us teamwork, and life demands the same. Crennis was fun, but the real action is brewing with the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation & Gates Foundation.”
