Greater Noida: There is a man in Indian cricket who lives in Mumbai and began serving the game when he was just a 16-year-old and continues to do so. No, he is not Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. He is Sitaram Kashinath Tambe. Unlike Tendulkar who retired in 2013, Tambe is still going strong as a Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) office assistant. He will be 65 in less than a month's time. While Tendulkar is a household name, only a few know about people like Tambe, who belong to the unsung lot, serving the game if not on the field, then off it.
