On September 3, 2010, IAF Air Chief Marshal P.V. Naik did the honours at a ceremony in New Delhi. Tendulkar is the first sportsperson to be awarded such an honour by the Indian Air Force. He recently attended the 87th IAF Day function at Hindon air base last month. The former India cricketer has always been a huge admirer of Indian Air Force.
