Sachin Tendulkar
Often referred to as The Little Master or The Master Blaster, is an Indian cricketer widely regarded as the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket.
You take Don Bradman away and he is next up, I reckon.
Tujhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoDa hai?
If I'm to bowl to Sachin, I will bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard.
On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century. This genius can stop time in India!
When people throw stones at you, you turn them into milestones.
I know that the new ball is due, but I am saving it for that "Chotu" (Sachin) who is coming next.
Cricketers like Sachin come once in a lifetime, and I am privileged he played in my time.
The pressure on me is nothing compared to Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin, like God, must never fail. The crowd always expects him to succeed and it is too much pressure on him. But, he rarely disappoints them.
In the early years, especially around the mid 90s, I had this feeling you could play around on his ego and get him out. He believed he could attack bowlers at any time and anyone who could bowl maidens to him stood a good chance. Things are of course different now.
With Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, it was better to be friends and make them smile rather than wind them up.
"There will never be another Sachin Tendulkar."
No Michael, as long as you walk off with your pride that's all you can do.
Sometimes you get so engrossed in watching batsmen like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar that you lose focus on your job.
Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the world.
It was one of the greatest innings I have ever seen. There is no shame being beaten by such a great player, Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don.
I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets.
We did not lose to a team called India... we lost to a man called Sachin.
Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal.
This little prick's going to get more runs than you, AB.
He loves India. He has named his child India. His biggest player is actually Tendulkar. Right now I'm hoping Tendulkar does not hit a catch to him because he will probably drop it to watch him bat.
