"I am really excited about this partnership with Castrol since they are one of the world's great brands and have the same passion for performance that I have on the field," Sachin said.

"Their oils are known for consistently delivering under extreme pressure situations, again something I am quite familiar with. I am also very passionate about motorsport with which Castrol has been associated for over a century. So to me, this partnership seems to be the perfect fit," he added.
