‘Sachin Tendulkar would think far ahead and would play according to the plan’

I saw a tiny 12-year-old Sachin Tendulkar at the Kamat Memorial Cricket Club, which was handled by Ramakant Achrekar sir. Sachin was very regular in the nets. The wickets during practice session were mud-tracks on which the ball used to do all sorts of tricks. But young Sachin would get into good position and had enough time to play his shots. He hated getting out in the nets and always put a price on his wicket.
