‘Sachin Tendulkar walks away from the game as one of its greatest ambassadors’

I was with the Indian team travelled to Sri Lanka for the 1997 Asia Cup. The day the tournament was supposed to begin, a small inauguration ceremony was arranged at a ground where the flags of all four participating teams were hoisted. However, the Indian flag was fluttering upside down. Sachin Tendulkar, who was leading the Indian team, was the first to notice the mistake and promptly informed me and asked me to get the mistake rectified. We immediately went to the local authorities and got that changed.

‘Sachin Tendulkar is a couple of levels above Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman’

It was in 1991-92 that I first came across Sachin Tendulkar, when the Indian team were touring Australia. I had played a game for the Prime Minister’s XI against the Indians at Canberra and he also featured in that game. However, my first distinct memories of Sachin are from the Test series that followed. Against a good attack comprising the likes of Merv Hughes, Craig McDermott and Bruce Reid, to name a few, he scored a couple of tons. For a kid that young, it was a phenomenal achievement. His technique was amazing. That was just the beginning for the genius of Sachin.

‘To have Sachin Tendulkar watch our sport was a fabulous feeling’

Growing up, I watched my dad following cricket devotedly. I distinctly remember my father pointing Sachin Tendulkar to me, saying he was an upcoming player and would do well.

‘It was difficult to take 16-year-old Sachin Tendulkar out of the cricket ground’

I was the Indian team’s manager on the tour to Pakistan in 1989 and a 16-and-a-half-year-old Sachin Tendulkar was making his international debut. Even then, it was difficult to take Sachin out of the ground after net practice. So the groundstaff used to come and say, "We have to get the wickets ready for the Test match. Please ask your boy to come in."

‘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.

‘Sachin Tendulkar’s will to win is far greater than the fear of failure’

In my book, Sachin Tendulkar is the Mozart of cricket. As the Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Indian cricket team, I realised that he has a fantastic body record. This is because of his sheer commitment.

‘Sachin Tendulkar’s biggest passion after cricket are cars’

Words cannot do justice about Sachin Tendulkar’s greatness. His passion and dedication for cricket is truly astounding — a huge inspiration for every sportsperson. It boggles the mind to think what he would have gone through in these 24 long years to achieve the incredible heights he has scaled. And to think that he started his international career at the young age of 16!

‘Sachin Tendulkar didn’t think twice when it came to charity’

The first time I met Sachin Tendulkar was at the Mumbai Airport lounge a few years ago. We were having a conversation with Irfan Pathan. It was there that I realised that the man was extremely uncomplicated in the way he spoke and in the way he came across. However, back then, we didn’t spend a long time and I was in awe of the great man, who looked extremely young for his age.
