Tendulkar to launch his wax figure on April 13

Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar will launch his new wax figure, flown directly from Madame Tussauds' museum in London, on April 13 at a city hotel here.

Tendulkar is the first Indian sports personality to be featured in the famous Madame Tussauds' museum.

Incidentally, it is also the first time that a Madame Tussauds figure will be launched overseas. The museum decided to flew Tendulkar's wax figure 7000 km to Mumbai just for a meeting with the cricketing legend.

The wax figure has taken only three months to create and is dressed in the master blaster-donated white cricketing jersey.
