SACHIN’S FAMILY

•Tendulkar was considered a bully, and often picked up fights with new

children in his school.

•To help curb his mischievous and bullying tendencies, Ajit introduced him

to cricket in 1984. He introduced the young Sachin to Ramakant Achrekar, a

famous cricket coach.

•In the first meeting, the young Sachin did not play his best. Ajit told

Achrekar that he was feeling self-conscious due to the coach observing him,

and was not displaying his natural game. Ajit requested the coach to give

him another chance at playing, but watch while hiding behind a tree. This

time, Sachin, apparently unobserved, played much better and was accepted

at Achrekar's academy.

• Tendulkar would practice for hours on end in the nets. If he became

exhausted, Achrekar would put a one-rupee coin on the top of the stumps,

and the bowler who dismissed Tendulkar would get the coin. If Tendulkar

passed the whole session without getting dismissed, the coach would give

him the coin. Tendulkar now considers the 13 coins he won then as some of

his most prized possessions.

# Sachin’s father gave freedom to Sachin at the age of 11, and told him that he should chase his dreams, but make sure he do not find shortcuts . Every time he has done something special, he showed bat, for his father.

•Sachin had an exceptional season in 1988 and hammered a century in each and every match he played. With former friend and team India colleague Vinod Kambli, he took part in an unbeaten partnership of 664 runs against the St. Xavier’s High School in a Lord Harris Shield interschool contest.

•Tendulkar notched up a 326 in that game and also scored in excess of 1000 runs in that tournament.

•The young Mumbaikar demonstrated the qualities that propelled him to the national team at the tender age of 16 to face Pakistan which was one of the toughest teams at that time and had a formidable bowling attack. Sachin acquitted himself well on that tour and the rest is history.
