The man Sachin wholeheartedly thanked in his farewell speech. The same man who took him to the famous Ramakant Achrekar.

He's a Tendulkar too. Sachin's elder brother, Ajit. Ajit was a cricketer too. An off-spinner who played Division A cricket for Jolly Cricketers. He was 10 years elder to Sachin. For us Sachin is Sachin, but for Ajit he has always been his young brother. And like most younger brothers do, Sachin has looked up to Ajit. Ajit however knew that Sachin did not have to be like him. He had a unique quality of his own. Sachin was only 11 when Ajit took him to Achrekar.

The little boy was obviously nervous and did not perform up to his calibre. Ajit then asked Achrekar to move away from the nets and watch from a distance so that Sachin does not get conscious. It worked. Ajit had found a gem and Achrekar polished it further.

Ajit decided to give up his dream of becoming a cricketer and chose to live it through his younger brother. I think, that is the only time we have played against each other. We have played another match at the Bengal Cricket Club together, but this was against each other. We did not want to beat each-other.

It is a rather well-known fact that Ajit was the one who took Tendulkar to famed coach Ramakant Achrekar and as they say, rest is history. The former India captain also walked down the memory lane as he narrated several anecdotes of his childhood. Share Via.
