‘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 was often the first to get into the nets and the last to get out of it’

I was in Ruia College which had a fantastic cricket team. One day we were casually discussing the batting of Ajit Tendulkar. One of our friends told us: "Forget Ajit, have you seen his younger brother’s batting?"

‘Sachin Tendulkar was weeping… He didn’t leave the dressing room to even collect his man-of-the-match award’

One of the Bombay players introduced me to him. Tendulkar asked me tips about batting. When I was telling him the nuances of batting, he was completely attentive. He wanted to learn the intricacies of batting.
