Batting great Sachin Tendulkar has advised cricketers to respect their cricket kit. Tendulkar was speaking after unveiling departed coach Ramakant Achrekar’s memorial at Shivaji Park, Dadar, on Tuesday evening.
    
Tendulkar, who represented the country in 200 Tests and has 100 international centuries under his belt, recalled how Achrekar used to stress on the importance of discipline and dedication.

“Sir [Achrekar] taught us how to respect your kit. When I saw players returning [to the dressing room]  throwing their bats and doing various things, I used to tell them, ‘you are in this dressing room because of this bat, so never throw it’.
