A Tendulkar is born only once in a century’

As a cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar’s self-discipline and commitment to excellence is unmatched. As a person, his feet are firmly on the ground, says Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni


When I was a kid, my fascination with cricket began and ended with seeing Sachin Tendulkar bat. The moment he got out, I would switch off the television. Among the many innings that will be etched in my memory forever are those majestic back-toback hundreds against Australia in Sharjah (1998).
Soon, I started playing cricket with a tennis ball and I would try to imitate him. However, I must confess when I watched a video of my batting, it was like North Pole and South Pole! I laughed at myself for even thinking I could bat like Tendulkar.
When I made my India debut on the Bangladesh tour in December 2004, I was excited and nervous. It was a short tour but being able to share the dressing-room with my idol made it memorable. Being shy, I couldn’t find the courage to speak to him and avoided eye contact as well. I was overawed.
Finally, it was Sachin himself who broke the ice and made me feel comfortable since he would be standing close to me — in the slips.
Once I got to know him better, my admiration for him grew further. As a cricketer, his self-discipline and commitment to excellence is unmatched. As a person, he is humble and honest; his feet are still on the ground despite all the fame and fortune.
As told to Ajay Naidu
