Sachin Tendulkar, the 51-year-old cricket legend, is set to receive the prestigious C K Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award for 2024, in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the sport. With a storied career spanning over two decades, Tendulkar has left an indelible mark on the game, holding numerous records, including the most ODI (463) and Test (200) appearances, as well as being the first cricketer to score a double ton in ODI cricket. His impressive tally of 15,921 runs in Test cricket and 18,426 runs in ODI cricket for India is a testament to his unparalleled skill and dedication. Tendulkar’s impact on the game extends beyond his on-field achievements, as he played a pivotal role in India’s 2011 World Cup victory and was a driving force behind the team’s success during his playing days. As a batsman, he was revered for his ability to captivate the nation with his presence on the field, and his dismissal was often the top priority for opposing teams. With this award, Tendulkar will become the 31st recipient of the honour, which was instituted in 1994 to recognize outstanding contributions to Indian cricket.

The highly anticipated Cigarettes After Sex concert in Bengaluru was abruptly canceled on Tuesday at Bhartiya Mall due to “local production issues,” leaving fans disappointed.

While the exact reason remains unclear, frustrated concertgoers questioned the city’s ability to host large-scale music events. One fan wrote, “Technical issues in the Silicon Valley of India—ironic. Bengaluru was once a music hub, now it’s just Bollywood beats.” Another blamed local authorities, saying, “Pathetic administration is ruining the city’s live music scene.”

Many also criticized BookMyShow for failing to inform ticket holders in advance, with some traveling long distances only to find out at the venue. The band assured that refunds would be processed soon.

This cancellation follows a similar setback in 2023 when Trevor Noah scrapped his Bengaluru shows due to poor venue acoustics, raising concerns over the city’s diminishing status as a prime concert destination.
