Tendulkar has been associated with the franchise since its inception in 2014. Over the last four years, Kerala Blasters Football Club has been an integral part of my life. I have undergone all the emotions that millions of Kerala Blasters fans have undergone during this period.

“My association with Kerala Blasters was driven with the intent to reignite the passion for the game and give the many fans and the abundant talent in Kerala, a national platform to express themselves.

“It has been a thrilling experience to chase this pursuit and something which I will always cherish,” the batting great said in the statement.
