cricket coach in Shivaji park, Dadar.

• Ajit Tendulkar, played a major role in the life of Sachin Tendulkar as cricketer.

• Achrekar was not impressed with Sachin in the first meeting because he didn’t played well as
he was feeling self-conscious due to coach observing him , Ajit requested the coach to give
him another chance with observing Sachin play his matural game by hiding behind the tree
and this time Acherkar sir was impressed with Tendulkar’s talent , and Sachin started coaching
with coach in the mornings and evenings.

• If Tendulkar became exhausted in practice , Achrekar would put up a one- rupee coin on top
of the stumps and the bowler who dismissed Sachin would get the coin and if Sachin passed

 THE CAPTAINCY CRISIS
Tendulkar was made the captain of the side in 1996 at the age of 23, but with 7 years of experience
behind him. A poor record, the egos of senior players to manage, and an avalanche of internal
conflict, couldn’t quite dent Tendulkar’s performances with the bat, as he continued to score runs
despite India being blanked by the opposition. In his second tenure as captain, which was thrust upon
him without his contest, India lost a Test series to South Africa at home and Tendulkar’s own form was
taking a hit, and he stepped down from captaincy. Sourav Ganguly took over as the leader in 2000,
with the hopes of building a new Indian team amidst the match-fixing scandal that had taken the
cricket world by storm.

 A NATION IN TEARS
• On November 16, 2013, 24 years and a day after his Test
debut, Tendulkar bid a tearful adieu to Test cricket at the
Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. His 200th Test match,
against the West Indies, culminated in a win for India, as
Sachin contributed handsomely with a fluent 74. The
Wankhede was stunned into silence when he was caught at
slip and had to walk back to the pavilion. However, his
rousing speech after the match, wherein he mentioned that
the chants of “Sachin Sachin will reverberate in my ears until
my last breath”, reinvigorated the crowd into a new spree of
the chant - perhaps for the last time ever.

You may have watched the Beatles live, you may have
witnessed Muhammad Ali at Time Square. A select few
living souls may have even watched the Don bat. Yet there is
something unmatched about the rising pulse, the bursting
eardrums, and the blinding tears as one involuntarily starts
to chant along with the enchanted crowd. That show-
stopping icon that enchanted a billion - that emotion that
once entranced a nation - Sachin Tendulkar....
