True that Vishal. I like that you made the point about increased viewership. Sometimes it all boils down to a thing as simple as good marketing and I guess in such a scenario, if we are able to get more traction towards the other sports, then nothing like it :)

True Maniparna, at this stage, I think heis one of the best people to represent sports. Maybe atleast this way, people will start recognising the other sports as well. Maybe the fame slowly translates into others and we all start taking other games seriously.

I agree Deependra, I guess Sachin definitely fits in the ambassador part. I would certainly like to know what the other required parameters are to be selected as a goodwill ambassador. That would have added more value to this post. Will try to search it up and add them here.

I like the last point you made, wasting time over unnecessary arguments.Although I do like arguments, I firmly believe that something productive should come out of them. If not, it will be a simple waste of time. However if we are gaining some knowledge or insight frm it, then these arguments are very much a necessity to rethink over a few things .

Yes, as you pointed out, it makes more sense to have someone associated with the sport, but Sachin’s presence will increase viewership, even among people who otherwise are not engaged with Olympics. Let’s see how it works.
