Mumbai gears up to win the ICC Cricket World Cup, and for Sachin Tendulkar
As you traverse through the roads of Mumbai, you see hoardings with Sachin Tendulkar’s picture and a sentence that reads, ‘Win the World Cup for Sachin Tendulkar’. Everyone knows the Cricket World Cup 2011 has kicked off in the subcontinent and that this could well be the Little Master’s last one. No wonder then, that the city is gearing up to do everything to make it a tribute not just to the game, but to the man who gave the country much to cheer about for 20 years.
Like festivals, cricket too is a community activity and Mumbai’s hospitality addresses never forget that. At the heart of the city, Bandra’s popular hangout Bonobo is planning to welcome cricket fans and India supporters for a fun-filled frenzy. “We intend to screen all India matches and a few other interesting ones. To go with the excitement are special discounts on beer and cocktail pitchers and a 50 per cent discount if patrons win the toss against the Bonobo barman,” says Anup Gandhi, a partner at the restaurant. To set the ambience, Gandhi and his team has done up the place with India flags, face-painting and merchandise. Hotels aren’t too far behind either at partaking in the revelry. The bar at Hotel Intercontinental The Lalit in Andheri, Beluga, has a new menu to suit the sporty mood with special offers on drinks and beers running through the day, between noon and midnight for all matches.
