The 5-year-old Sachin had only one passion, cricket, cricket and only cricket. At the age of 5, Sachin used to play cricket with his older children and hit many sixes. Seeing this, his brother Ajit would have been surprised. In 1984, Ajit went to Ramakant Achrekar of Maharashtra with Sachin at the age of 11. From that day onwards Sachin’s fame started becoming a cricketer. And while returning home the same day, Sachin told his brother that I can play well with the rest. This was 11-year-old Sachin’s confidence.

Tendulkar practiced for four hours in a day. To give more time to practice, Sachin decided to stay with his uncle and aunt, who lived near Shivaji Park.
