Sachin Tendulkar helps fan travel to Australia to support the Indian team

In the first three matches of the ongoing India-Australia Test series, one popular fan was missing from the stands cheering for Team India. Indian team's biggest fan, Sudhir Gautam, did not travel to Australia for the first three matches but has made his presence felt in the ongoing fourth and final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.

Sudhir left for Sydney from Delhi via Mumbai on Monday and his ticket and visa expenses have been sponsored by former India batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin has been very kind to Sudhir in the past as well as he has helped him get out of trouble on numerous occasions. In return, Sudhir has always been loyal to the Master Blaster.

Sudhir will also be present in Sydney, Adelaide, and Melbourne for the three-match ODI series and it is still unclear whether he will travel to New Zealand to watch the five-match ODI and three-match T20I series. He is banking on Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan to arrange flight tickets to New Zealand.

"I had requested Sachin sir to bear my ticket fares and visa expenses for Australia tour. My friends in Australia have promised me to make my arrangements for internal travel and other expenses. I will also watch the three ODIs' in Australia before deciding to go to New Zealand also. My return ticket from Melbourne is booked for January 21 but will request Rohit Sharma or Shikhar Dhawan if they can arrange for my tickets to New Zealand", Sudhir Gautam said.

He also added that he will be very disappointed if Australia win the Pink Test in Sydney as he doesn't want the series to be tied 2-2. He wants Virat Kohli and his men to go for the kill yet again in the series.
