Thogh legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar worked with several coaches right from his childhood coach Ramakant Achrekar to India’s 2011 World Cup-winning team coach Gary Kirsten, the go-to-man during his 24-year cricketing journey was Tendulkar’s elder brother Ajit. Whether it was an issue with the grip, bat swing or any other problem, Ajit, who played club cricket in Mumbai, had a solution.

Tendulkar was speaking at a release function of the book, Scintillating Sachin—Story Beyond the Stats by Dwarkanath Sanzgiri on Friday.
