Sachin Tendulkar has been the best batsman of all time. Over the years, he has given so many happy memories to the country. His career spanned for 24 long years which is a remarkable achievement.
The ‘Master Blaster’ made clear that it wasn’t simply about skill and highlighted the value of the repetitive tasks he did in the background. In addition, Sachin acknowledged the important role his older brother Ajit had in helping him get ready for games.
Sachin Tendulkar spoke during an interview
Here is what Sachin Tendulkar said at an interview set up by Meta (Facebook) in their Mumbai office in BKC:
“(The shots) It’s all hard work. My brother played a huge role in making me understand the importance of preparation. So before every game, we used to sit and plan how I was going to execute my plans the next day. One thing this beautiful sport taught me was to prepare, plan, and practice properly. The results were never guaranteed. There will always be challenges, but there’s no hurdle that you can’t overcome.”
Over the course of his 24 years of international competition, Sachin Tendulkar set some astounding records. However, according to the illustrious batter, the goal should always be to play for the team, with individual goals coming in second.
“It was never about breaking records. It was about my passion for the game and while playing that if records get broken along the way, then okay. But it wasn’t just about records. It was all about what the team needed from me at that moment and that was what I was taught by [Ramakant] Achrekar sir [Sachin’s coach]. Good individuals make a good team. Individuals can win you matches, but a good team wins you tournaments.”
In addition, Sachin shared a personal tale and stressed the value of being focused on your goals.
“With recognition and a bit of appreciation in every profession, there also come expectations. Sometimes we forget what we want to be. I remember I had an injury and I played 4-5 exhibition matches to get back into action because my body was not ready to play big matches. I felt different and then I realized that the kid inside me, that enthusiasm was forgotten. It’s important that you remain connected to it all the time.”
