‘I kept bowling out-swingers, and Sachin Tendulkar kept smashing me through mid-on and mid-wicket’
I first watched Sachin Tendulkar bat a year before his Ranji Trophy debut, when he first entered the Mumbai dressing room. At the time Sandeep Patil was our coach-cum-captain and Sachin only travelled with the team; he did not play. Initially, we were not allowed to bowl to him in the nets, but a few months down the line, we didn’t want to do that as he was smashing us all over.
