When Golfer Manisha Jathia scooped up Sachin Tendulkar's bat for Rs 2.5 lakh

When business meets sports, there's bound to be interesting conversations. A charity golf tournament and auction organised by Rajiv Datar in Pune early this month did not disappoint. Attended by Ajit Agarkar, Atul Kirloskar, Atulya Mafatlal, Khalin Joshi and Kunal Bhasin among others, Agarkar swung one out of the stadium when he admitted that he finds golf much more frustrating than cricket. “A lot of times you are playing against yourself. It can be a lot more frustrating than cricket. And I'm addicted to the game.“

While sporting banter made the evening fun, it was the auction of Sachin Tendulkar's autographed bat that took the cake. Golfer Manisha Jathia scooped up the bat for a cool 2.5 lakh, while tennis player David Ferrer's autographed shoes went for Rs 50,000 .
