“I came up with certain reasons which were normally adequate in crevasse cricket. I said, ‘really the ball was low’ and they generally concurred. In the following match I called them once more and I got out on the main ball.

“I came up with a rationalization once more and said, ‘this ball was somewhat high, it took off from that point and it was the shortcoming of the pitch and not mine’. In any case, in the third match, I said I won’t call them as I would burn through their time. (I thought) I will go alone,” added the little expert.

“My #1 shot, one which goes behind bowler – – straight drive – – that was my #1 shot. What’s more, I began playing that shot at the Sahitya Sahawas, on the grounds that there were no defenders (behind the bowler),” Tendulkar said during an Indian Road Chief Association (ISPL) occasion here.

“At the point when I went to Shivaji Park and began rehearsing with (Ramakant) Achrekar sir, he would let me know that I ought to show my full face (of the bat) – – that is the most secure method for clearing a ball,” said Tendulkar, adding that playing with the tennis ball was one of his earliest recollections of cricket.
