Sachin also emphasised on the role of his brother Ajit and his coach Ramakant Achrekar in his road to glory.

“I started discussing cricket with my brother from day one of my career and even on the last day of my career when I was dismissed, we were still discussing how I got dismissed and what could I have done, knowing that I may not go out to bat again. So his contribution is invaluable,” he said.
