Group Captain Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

The Air Force has conferred the honorary rank of Indan Air Force Group Captain on Sachin Tendulkar in recognition of his achievements as an Indian and a Cricketer. Accepting the Air Force's honor, Sachin described it as "the greatest honor being bestowed on me... we all want to at some stage touch the sky."



He also said he liked wearing aviator glasses after watching Tom Cruise in Top Gun. Earlier this year, he became the first cricketer to score a double-century in a one-dayer.
