NEWS Cricket World Cup 2007>Sachin Tendulkar's gloves auctioned for ailing soccer referee 23rd Feb 2007 14.01 IST By Agencies A pair of gloves worn by Sachin Tendulkar during the Multan Test in Pakistan in 2004 today fetched Rs 1.11 lakh in an auction with the proceeds going for the treatment of an ailing soccer referee. Tendulkar, who could not make it to the function organised by the Calcutta Sports Journalists` Club, showed a noble gesture by sending in his gloves, which he had donned during an innings of 194 not out in Multan, for the auction.
The bid price soon went into the six figures and finally was won by a Kolkata-based industrialist. The cheque was handed over to the wife of the ailing FIFA referee Pradip Nag.
