Batting icon Sachin Tendulkar revealed on Tuesday as to why his elder brother Ajit decided to send him to coach Ramakant Achrekar at an early age.
“When Ajit used to play, his observation was that even during a match, Lalchand Rajput, Chandu [Chandrakant] Pandit, Subhash Kshirsagar always enjoyed the game, singing songs and looked so confident. But those who were not Sir’s [Achrekar] students were sweating it out due to the tension.
