10 Things You Didn’t Know About Sachin Baby: Powered by Parimatch Sports

Parimatch Sports, a high-quality sportswear brand inspired by the world’s top athletes, continues its exclusive Inside the Game series. The latest episode explores the world of cricket, featuring two outstanding athletes-Sachin Baby, who led Kerala to their first-ever Ranji Trophy final in 2024, and Taniyaa Bhatia, whose Delhi Capitals reached the WPL final in 2025.

10 Things You Didn’t Know About Sachin Baby: Powered by Parimatch Sports

While cricket fans know Sachin for his composed presence at the crease and his pivotal role in leading Kerala to the historic Ranji final, Inside the Game offers an even deeper look into the man behind the jersey.

From his early sporting roots to the mindset that drives his success, Parimatch Sports uncovered 10 things you probably didn’t know about Sachin Baby. Here they are:

1. Sachin Baby Was Almost a Professional Footballer

Before cricket took over, Sachin’s primary sport was football – and he wasn’t just kicking around for fun. He went through formal trials and was selected for his district team. Though he ultimately chose cricket, he admits the football path could have been just as real. Looking back, he sees the switch as more than coincidence: “Maybe it was because of my name,” he joked. Cricket called-and he answered.

2. His Hidden Talent Sachin Can Sing

Cricket isn’t his only rhythm. Sachin shared that he’s actually quite good at singing – something most of his teammates don’t know. While he’s more likely to perform with the bat than a mic, it’s one of those off-field skills that reminds you: there’s more to every player than the scorecard.

3. The Song That Powers His Game Comes from Baahubali

Everyone has a pre-game ritual. For Sachin, it’s music-specifically, a powerful track from the Baahubali soundtrack in Malayalam, sung by his friend Madhu Balashan. He listens to it every single day before heading out to play. The song reflects his inner battles and uplifts him in moments of doubt. It’s not just motivational-it’s personal.

4. He Once Shared the Screen – and the Chant – with Sachin Tendulkar

In a match between RCB and Mumbai Indians, Sachin was on a roll, hitting both a six and a four off Kieron Pollard. What happened next felt unreal: the entire crowd at Chinnaswamy Stadium broke into the iconic “Sachin! Sachin!” chant. Then the big screen flashed-showing Sachin Baby’s photo alongside Sachin Tendulkar. It was a moment of shared names, shared spotlight, and lasting impact.

5. The Best Advice He’s Ever Received Be a Leveler

According to Sachin, the most meaningful guidance he’s had from mentors is to focus on the process, not the outcome-and to stay grounded. Be a leveler,” he says. In a game that lifts you one day and humbles you the next, staying balanced is key. Perform or fail, never fly too high or sink too low.

6. He Believes Cricket Needs Fewer Rules, Not More

When asked what rule he’d add to the game, Sachin flipped the question: he’d remove one. His pick The Impact Player rule. While acknowledging its benefits, he feels it tilts the balance unfairly against bowlers. Cricket, he believes, should let every player fight for their space on equal footing, without too much interference.

7. His Cheat Meals Are All About Kerala Flavour

Strict training routines usually leave little room for indulgence-but Sachin admits that when he’s home in Kerala, staying on a diet is nearly impossible. Surrounded by rich regional cuisine, he lets himself enjoy grilled chicken, fish, and the occasional full plate-in moderation, of course.

8. He’d Bring Suresh Raina Back to the Game

If he could bring one retired legend back to modern cricket, Sachin wouldn’t hesitate: Suresh Raina. As a youngster, Sachin copied Raina’s batting and admired his fielding versatility.

9. What Does Being a Champion Mean to Sachin

For Sachin, being a champion is about much more than just winning titles. It’s about never giving up, taking responsibility, and leading by example. True champions stay calm under pressure, inspire others, and stay committed to their craft through hard work and determination. It’s the mindset of pushing through adversity and constantly evolving.

10. Sachin’s Advice to Young Players Be Ready for Your Moment

Sachin shared valuable advice for up-and-coming players: “Don’t chase fast success.” He believes the journey is long-full of ups and downs-and you need to be patient. But once your moment arrives, you must be prepared. Believe in the process, stay disciplined, and be ready to receive what you’ve worked for.

Wrapping Up

From unexpected beginnings to grounded philosophies, Inside the Game gave fans a new perspective on Sachin Baby-not just as a player, but as a person. Watch the latest episode now on the Parimatch Sports YouTube channel to enjoy the full action.

Sanfort Set to Launch India’s First IB Preschool Chain with a Vision for Futuristic Childhood Education

Reshaping preschool education with its progressive curriculum and global pedagogical standards, Sanfort Group of Schools (Sanfort) is planning to establish its first preschool chain in India, working towards implementing the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) framework. Such a definitive step will mark a transformative leap in early childhood learning by Sanfort with its legacy of innovation and learner-centric approach.

Sneha Rathor, Dr. S.K. Rathor, Kavita Rathor, and Vineeta Srivastava stand proudly alongside the dedicated Sanfort team, marking a moment of celebration and achievement

Sanfort is not just preparing children for school, but it’s nurturing future-ready citizens for a rapidly evolving world. Sanfort is bringing internationally benchmarked education to the foundational years. Its curriculum blends play-based exploration with structured developmental milestones which encourage young learners to think independently.

Sanfort proudly launches India’s first IB Preschool Chain-Sanfort Global, setting new standards in early childhood education

Dr. S.K. Rathor, Founder & Chairman of Sanfort said, “The early years form the foundation of lifelong learning, so at Sanfort, we are creating an environment where learning is joyful, meaningful, and aligned with global standards. By launching India’s first IB preschool chain, we aim to provide a truly world-class start to every child’s educational journey. Our goal is to raise confident, creative, and compassionate learners equipped for tomorrow.”

The kids at Sanfort are also being made confident enough to question deeply on any topic while understanding their surroundings with curiosity and confidence. In a nutshell, Sanfort fosters well-rounded development on all the parameters covering emotionally, cognitively, socially and physically. Founded by visionary educationists Dr. S.K. Rathor and Mrs. Kavita Rathor, Sanfort began its journey with a single preschool and has grown into one of India’s most trusted names in early childhood education today.

Sanfort has, over the years, built a solid reputation by combining innovative teaching methods with strong values at its schools. Innovation, inclusivity, and a global viewpoint are the cornerstones of Sanfort. Its learner-centred curriculum fosters curiosity, self-reliance, and holistic development from a young age.

Sanfort is already known for bringing revolutionary changes in the preschool industry. It was the first preschool in India to introduce Touch ‘n‘ Learn technology, making learning interactive and fun for young children. It also led the way by launching India’s first AR (Augmented Reality) -based curriculum, adding a whole new dimension to early learning and exploration.

Sanfort’s proprietary ‘Core Value Circle‘ model continues to drive innovation, addressing six critical pillars of development: sensory refinement, motor skills, creativity, social-emotional growth, personality development, and essential life skills. Sanfort provides a safe and engaging environment for all children to develop and flourish, complete with kid-friendly facilities, qualified teachers, and carefully planned activities.

Consequently, Sanfort has emerged as the preferred choice for thousands of parents across India who seek more than just conventional schooling-parents who value a nurturing, progressive, and globally aligned preschool experience. Through continuous curriculum enhancements and robust teacher development programs, Sanfort has created a dynamic learning ecosystem tailored for 21st-century children.

With over 250 schools across three countries, more than 90 prestigious awards, and a vast, vibrant alumni network, Sanfort’s journey of 16+ years is a strong reflection of its commitment to revolutionizing preschool education in India. Building on this foundation, Sanfort now plans to implement the IB PYP framework across its preschool chain-reinforcing its focus on global best practices in early childhood learning.

About Sanfort- The U.K Concept Preschool Chain
Sanfort – The U. K. Concept Preschool Chain is the brain child of Eminent Educationist couple Dr. S. K. Rathor & Mrs. Kavita Rathor.
