Celebrities and cricketers say about sachin

Sachin Tendulker

Sachin holds most of the important batting records 

in Tests and ODIs including most runs, hundreds 

and appearances.

Sachin is not as flamboyant or as arrogant as Viv Richards even 

though Sachin has more ability.... He never displayed arrogance, 

something that Sunil Gavaskar did sometimes.     -kapil dev

No player is perfect, in that they can execute every shot in the book 

perfectly, but Tendulkar has no obvious weaknesses.... He is brave, fit 

and possesses a great desire to score runs. What more do you need?    

-Angus fraser

Sachin should be used as an internatnal ambassador for cricket. 

His own personal ethics towards his industry and its people should 

be maximised for the continued healthy growth of the game.  -peter Kristen

Nobody has ever come close to him and there is no question of 

comparing anyone with him. He is the best ever; there is no Ponting 

and no Lara, and not even Sir Don Bradman; Sachin is simply the best.             -ganguly

Sachin will remain amongst the top three batters I have watched. For 

pure technique and for effortlessly shouldering the burden of more 

than a billion people day in and day out.      -Shaun pollock

He is made of the right stuff. It’s in his genes: he has the maturity 

and good sense to acknowledge all the adulation with calm modesty. 

Perhaps deep down, he knows that it is only a game. -David frith

He stands proudly for India and plays with his heart on his sleeve for 

the pride of his country. Not many people can have that position in a 

country’s psyche!  -Brett lee

We have this running competition between ourselves in the Bangladeshi 

team to see who can get him out so that we can talk about it years later 

when we all have quit the game.       

-shahip all hasan

Like any other great player, he has an array of shots, but more often 

than not he sticks to the basics. Personally, his straight drive is very 

pleasing. He is a complete batsman.          -mike getting

I don’t believe there will be another Tendulkar, and his achievements 

on the cricket field will never be matched. Like Sir Donald Bradman’s 

batting average of 99.94. -graeme hick

Sachin’s innate talent combined optimally with him being a true Indian, 

a team player and a hard worker brings him to the cusp of achieving 

what no other cricketer has achieved.

Sachin Tendulkar’s charm goes beyond the field. For cricket, he is 

Maradona and Pele out together – it is as simple as that. Cricket will 

be a poorer sport when he quits the game. -Allen Donald

It takes a master to produce a masterpiece. Lesser mortals might 

tap into the well of brilliance or temporarily befriend inspiration, but 

mastery belongs to the precious few.

-peter roebuck

Achrekar:

Where would Tendulkar be if not for Ramakant Achrekar’s 

guidance and disciplining in his early days? It is said that 

Achrekar used to take Tendulkar on his bike to all the grounds 

around Mumbai and make him play four-five games every day.

GAVASKAR:

One of his heroes while growing up, and whose 

record he ultimately broke, was Sunil Gavaskar, who 

also gifted Tendulkar with light-weight pads, which 

Tendulkar wore when he made his debut and later, 

when he scored his first Test hundred.

BRADMAN:

Don Bradman anointed Tendulkar as the modern 

day master, the one who reminded him the most of 

himself. The baton had been passed. They famously 

met at the former’s residence in Adelaide in 1998 

with Shane Warne for company.

It wasn’t until I really played against him that I 

understood that there was a tiger that lay within him: 

he was a very competitive little man.       

-Mathew Hayden

The best thing about Sachin is he never sledges. During the matches 

in Toronto for the Sahara Cup in the late 1990s, I abused him. But by 

choosing not to reply, he showed how great a human being he is.-Mustaq
