Earlier, cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar has thrown his weight behind the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017, saying one who doesn’t watch the women’s game is not a true cricket fan. “I guess he is not a cricket fan,” Tendulkar said, when asked what would he say to a cricket fan who wouldn’t consider going to a women’s game.
