FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 2, 2010 -- Sachin Tendulkar was awarded the man of the series for his historic knock in the second ODI as he became the first batsman in the world to score 200 runs in an ODI.

Mr. Paul de Voijs, Managing Director, Volvo Auto India said, “Associating Volvo with sports has been a vital part of our sponsoring strategy globally and what better sport than cricket to be associated with in India. Calling it not a game but a religion would not be saying anything new.”

“With Sachin winning the man of the series and the New Volvo S80 twin-turbo diesel, it went beyond just an association with a game. It was associating with a legend and his brilliance. For the first time we felt the magic and emotions this game brings with it. Sachin got the car, but we got much more than that.”
