The statue shows Tendulkar, who will turn 40 on April 24, clad in an India ODI jersey with his hands raised in a celebratory pose. His waxwork, a replica of the one in Madame Tussauds in London, will be a fixture at at the scenic Darling Harbour museum alongside those of Donald Bradman and Shane Warne. The display of Tendulkar&#39;s wax statue alongside those of Bradman and Warne is significant as he had posed with the two legends during a 1998 trip to Bradman&#39;s residence in Adelaide to wish the great Australian batsman on his 90th birthday. Swami Army, the group of Indian supporters which was formed in India&#39;s tour of Australia in 2003, sang and chanted his name as the statue was unveiled with some even bowing at the statue&#39;s feet. Tendulkar has scored three Test hundreds at the SCG including a 241 not out in 2004, his best Test score then. He is currently playing in the Indian Premier League. u00a0
