I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I cant be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesnt discuss media coverage. – Sachin Tendulkar
Wasim and Waqar were amazing bowlers. I would put them right up there with the best in the world. – Sachin Tendulkar
I grew up looking at my father as to how to behave. In watching him I grasped so many things. His own temperament was of a calm person. He was very composed and I never saw anger in him. To me, that was fascinating. – Sachin Tendulkar
I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself. – Sachin Tendulkar
Take my advice, dear reader, don’t talk epigrams even if you have the gift. I know, to those have, the temptation is almost irresistible. But resist it. Epigram and truth are rarely commensurate. Truth has to be somewhat chiselled, as it were, before it will quite fit into an epigram. – Joseph Farrell, “About Conversation,” The Lectures of a Certain Professor, 1877
