Champagne bottle is Tendulkar's keep-sake

Sachin Tendulkar is known to keep his bats which he has scored hundreds with. The list of items from his kit which he will never part with, just got bigger.

What are the things you are going to keep as souvenirs from this World Cup, he was asked on Monday. "The match shirts that I had worn, I will definitely retain. I will also keep the champagne bottle we opened immediately after we held the World Cup. The bottle I opened has been signed by the entire team.

"I am definitely going to retain that bottle, the bat and other things. They are something special," said Tendulkar, who witnessed a title triumph in his sixth World Cup. He played his first one in 1992 which was held in Australia and New Zealand.
